Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/3 cups wild rice, cooked
4 1/2 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons flour
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
3 -4 tablespoons shallots, minced

  • Preparation:
  • Preheat oven to 400°. In a heavy saucepan melt 3 1/2 tablespoons of butter over moderately low heat. Add flour and cook, whisking for 3 minutes. Add broth, bring mixture to a boil, and simmer it, whisking occasionally for 15 minutes.

  • Transfer mixture to a 13 x 9-inch baking dish and bake casserole covered, in the middle of preheated oven for 20 minutes.
