Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb mushrooms cleaned and sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp butter divided
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 2 medium garlic cloves chopped
  • 1.5 cups Basmati rice or other long grain rice
  • 2 cups fully seasoned vegetable broth
  • 0.5 cup parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the finely diced onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is translucent. Add the chopped garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are golden brown and have released their moisture.
  3. Once the mushrooms are cooked, add the basmati rice to the skillet. Stir well to coat the rice with the flavorful mixture. Toast the rice for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Pour in the fully seasoned vegetable broth, stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the chopped parsley. Fluff the rice with a fork to mix in the butter and parsley.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, substitute the butter with olive oil or a plant-based alternative.
  • This dish is naturally gluten-free; ensure your broth is labeled as such.
  • Leftovers can be frozen for up to 3 months; reheat with a splash of broth.
