Mushroom Rice
Description
This dish begins by slicing mushrooms and mincing garlic, then sautéing these with thyme, pepper, salt, and a tablespoon of butter until the mushrooms release their moisture and it evaporates. The rice and remaining butter are added and toasted briefly to coat the grains. Pouring in vegetable broth and stirring helps lift any browned bits, adding depth to the flavor.
Covered and simmered, the rice absorbs the broth and mushrooms’ flavor. After resting off heat with the lid on, the rice is fluffed for a light and tender texture. Optional fresh parsley adds a bit of brightness when sprinkled on top.
Mushroom Rice pairs well with a variety of mains or vegetarian dishes. The gentle seasoning and herbaceous touch enhance but don’t overpower. This recipe yields a homey, comforting side with a pleasing mix of textures from tender rice and soft mushrooms.
Ingredients
- 8 oz. mushrooms $1.49
- 2 cloves garlic $0.16
- 3 Tbsp butter $0.30, divided
- 1/4 tsp thyme $0.03, dried
- 1/4 tsp black pepper $0.02, freshly cracked
- 1/8 tsp salt $0.01
- 1 cup long-grain white rice $0.62, uncooked
- 1.5 cups vegetable broth $0.20
- 1 Tbsp parsley $0.10, chopped, fresh, optional
Instructions
- Slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic.
- Add the mushrooms, garlic, thyme, pepper, salt, and 1 Tbsp butter to a deep skillet. Sauté over medium heat until the mushrooms have released all of their water and the water has evaporated off the bottom of the skillet.
- Add the rice and 2 Tbsp butter to the skillet and continue to sauté for about two minutes more.
- Add the vegetable broth to the skillet and stir to dissolve any browned bits off the bottom of the skillet.
- Place a lid on the skillet, turn the heat up to medium-high, and allow the broth to come up to a full boil. When it reaches a full boil, turn the heat down to low, or just above low, so the broth remains simmering.
- Let the rice simmer for 15 minutes without stirring or removing the lid. After 15 minutes, remove the pan from the heat and let the rice rest for another 5 minutes, without removing the lid.
- Finally, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Taste and add salt or pepper, if desired. Top with chopped fresh parsley as a garnish.
