Ingredients
Method
In small saucepan, bring wild rice and 2 cups water to boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer until most of the rice is split and tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to large bowl; stir in focaccia.Meanwhile, in large Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp and golden, about 8 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towel–lined plate.
Drain all but 2 tbsp fat from pan. Stir in brussels sprouts, 1/4 cup of the broth, salt and pepper; cook, stirring, until bright green and wilted, about 2 minutes.
Stir in parsley, thyme, sage and bacon; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Scrape over rice mixture; drizzle with remaining broth and 1/2 cup water, tossing to coat. Scrape into 10-inch (3 L) oval baking dish; cover and refrigerate until liquid is absorbed, about 1 hour. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
Cover and bake in 350ºF (180ºC) oven for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until top is crisp and golden, about 10 minutes.
