WILD RICE CASSEROLE

This is one my catering recipes and the most delicious wild rice casserole in my opinion. It can be prepared ahead of time, just bring it to room temperature before serving.

4 green onions, chopped
2 to 3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 sticks butter
2 cups wild rice
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon tumeric
salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped
5 cups chicken or beef broth (I have used 2 1/2 cups of each before, very good)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Saute onions, mushrooms and garlic in butter until tender.
Stir in rice, seasonings and pecans and mix well. Turn into a 2-qt. casserole and pour broth over rice. Cover and bake until broth is absorbed, about 1 1/2 hours.
