• Place broccoli in a pot with enough water to cover, and boil 5 minutes, or until slightly tender. Remove from heat, and drain.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the mushrooms and onion until tender. Mix in cooked rice, cooked broccoli, stuffing mix, broth, and almonds. Transfer to the prepared baking dish (or use to stuff turkey just before roasting).

SMOKY CHICKEN, BROCCOLI RABE AND WILD RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a 12-inch enameled cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and celery and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, to cook off the raw taste, about 3 minutes.
• Whisk together the chicken stock, creme fraiche, sherry vinegar, garlic paste and soy sauce in a medium bowl. Slowly stir the liquid into the onion mixture, whisking the entire time.

• Make the dressing while the rice is cooking. Whisk together the lemon juice, vinegar, salt, mustard, and the garlic. Whisk in the oils, taste and adjust seasonings. Set aside.
• Steam the broccoli until just tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer to the pan with the rice. Add the dressing and the nuts and heat through, stirring. Add freshly ground pepper and just before serving stir in the parsley and other chopped herbs. Serve warm.

BROCCOLI, CHEDDAR AND WILD RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add rice to onion and cook for 1 minute, then add 1 1/3 cups water and a few pinches of salt. Bring mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to lowest temperature and cook with the lid on for about 50 minutes (or whatever amount of time is suggested on your package of rice). If you'd like a rice cooker to do this for you, transfer onions, water and rice to the machine and set the machine. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Peel broccoli stems and dice them into large chunks. Cut florets into 1-inch pieces. Cook in boiling, well-salted water for 2 to 3 minutes, then drain. You can use this same pan to make the cheese sauce. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in pan over medium heat. Once melted, add the mustard powder (if using), a pinch of cayenne and garlic and let sizzle for 1 minute. Add flour and whisk until combined, cooking the butter-flour mixture for 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly drizzle in milk, whisking constantly, then broth. Bring to a simmer and cook mixture at a simmer, stirring the whole time, until sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in smooth Dijon mustard if you didn't use mustard powder. Remove pan from heat and stir in 1/3 of grated cheese until melted. Season generously with salt and pepper. Combine cooked wild rice blend and broccoli in a 2-quart baking dish or a 9-inch oven-safe skillet. Pour cheese sauce over and gently nudge to ensure all pieces get some sauce. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top. Bake casserole for 10 to 15 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly, then run mixture under the broiler until cheese is toasty on top.
