How to Make Duck And Wild Rice Casserole

  1. Rinse the wild rice blend and set aside.
  2. Place duck breasts in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour, or until duck is tender.
  4. Remove duck from pot; reserve the broth, straining it to remove any impurities.
  5. Once the duck is cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones and cut into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
  6. Cook wild rice according to package directions.
  7. Drain the sliced mushrooms, reserving the liquid.
  8. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and saute until tender, about 5 minutes.
  9. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  10. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
  11. Gradually whisk in enough duck broth and reserved mushroom liquid to create 1 1/2 cups of liquid.
  12. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and bubbles.
  13. Stir in the cooked wild rice, cooked duck, half-and-half, and chopped parsley.
  14. Spoon the mixture into a greased 2-quart shallow casserole dish.
  15. Sprinkle the slivered almonds over the top.
  16. Cover and bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 15-20 minutes.
  17. Uncover and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until heated through and the top is lightly golden brown.
