Wild Rice with Mushrooms

This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Henry Estate in Dallas, Texas in 1980.

Ingredients

Method

1
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion flakes and sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
2
Stir in the washed, soaked, and drained wild rice, coating it evenly with the butter and onion mixture. Toast for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Pour in the beef broth and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
4
Reduce heat to low and add the canned mushroom bits and pieces along with their liquid to the rice mixture. Stir to combine.
1 minutes
5
Cover the saucepan with a lid and simmer gently for 45–55 minutes, until the wild rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
50 minutes

Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes to allow any remaining liquid to be fully absorbed.
