👨🍳 Instrucțiuni

Cook the rye: Rinse the rye berries or groats. In a saucepan, combine rye with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until tender. Drain any excess water and set aside.

Sauté the aromatics: While the rye cooks, melt 2 tbsp of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Sweating the onions slowly brings out their sweetness. - 3
Cook the mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and are nicely browned, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in the fresh thyme and parsley.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking mushrooms; cook in batches if necessary. - 4
Make the creamy sauce: In a separate saucepan, melt the remaining 1 tbsp of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Whisking constantly prevents lumps from forming in the sauce. - 5
Combine and season: Stir the cooked rye and the mushroom mixture into the creamy sauce. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Taste and adjust seasoning before assembling the casserole. - 6
Assemble and bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour the rye and mushroom mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish. If using, sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the top.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the top is golden brown and bubbly. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
