Madre's Mushroom Rice
Description
Madre's Mushroom Rice uses butter, beef broth, and water to cook parboiled rice in the oven. After baking initially for an hour, mushrooms, diced celery, sliced green onions, and slivered almonds are stirred in and the dish is baked again for twenty minutes. This process distributes the vegetable and nut flavors evenly through the rice while allowing a slightly creamy and tender texture.
The addition of beef broth and butter adds richness, while the mushrooms and celery give earthiness and crunch. The green onions contribute a fresh note, making this a balanced side dish. The almonds give a subtle crisp texture contrast.
This mushroom rice fits well alongside meat or poultry as a flavorful accompaniment. It can be prepared ahead and heated before serving. The instructions also offer an Instant Pot method for quicker preparation without sacrificing flavor integration.
The notes advise that if using the Instant Pot, add all ingredients except green onions, cook at high pressure for four minutes, and finish by stirring in the green onions after pressure release for best texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter
- 21.75 ounces beef broth one and a half standard size cans
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 1/2 cup rice parboiled
- 8 ounces mushroom canned
- 1/2 cup celery diced
- 1/4 cup green onions sliced
- 1/2 cup almonds slivered
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a large pot, melt the butter. Add beef broth and water and bring to a boil. Add the rice and stir. Pour into a large casserole dish.
- Bake for 1 hour. Remove casserole dish from the oven and stir the rice.
- Add mushrooms, celery, green onions, and almonds. Stir until toppings are evenly distributed throughout the rice.
- Bake for 20 minutes and serve immediately.
Notes
- This recipe can be made in an Instant Pot by combining all ingredients except green onions, cooking on high pressure for 4 minutes, then stirring in green onions after natural pressure release.
- Use canned mushrooms for consistent flavor and texture throughout the rice.
- Bake uncovered to allow some moisture to evaporate, creating tender, fluffy rice.
