Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice or ⅔ cup uncooked rice - preferably basmati rice or any long grained rice
- 400 grams white button mushrooms - cleaned and chopped or 4 cups chopped white button mushrooms
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon roasted crushed sesame seeds
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- 3 to 4 spring onions or scallions - chopped (reserve the greens for garnishing) - about ½ cup
- 1 teaspoon garlic , finely chopped - optional
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper or white pepper
- salt as required
Instructions
- Before you begin the recipe, cook about ⅔ cup of rice until tender and softened. Cool the rice grains completely.
- You can cook or steam the rice in a stovetop pressure cooker, pan or Instant pot adding water as needed.
- In a pan heat olive oil. You can also use any neutral flavored oil.
- Add the chopped garlic and saute for some seconds. No need to brown the garlic.
- Then add chopped scallions (spring onion whites). Begin to saute the spring onions stirring often.
- Saute till the spring onions become translucent and have softened. Now add chopped mushrooms. Initially the mushrooms will leave water.
- Saute them until all the water evoapartes from the pan and the mushrooms are completely cooked.
- Add ground black or white pepper, crushed white sesame seeds, thyme and oregano to the mushrooms. Mix well.
- Now add the cooked rice and salt as required. The rice has to be completely cooled before you add it at this step.
- Mix and saute the rice with the mushrooms for a couple of minutes.
- Garnish with the scallions greens or cilantro.
- Serve mushroom rice hot or warm with a salad or you could just drizzle some extra virgin olive oil to the rice and enjoy the bowl of mushroom rice.
Notes
- Instead of white button mushrooms you can also use cremini or shiitake mushrooms.
- Use any non-sticky variety of rice to make the dish. While I prefer to use long-grained rice like basmati but any medium to short grain rice will also work well.
- Spring onions give a good flavor but you can replace them with shallots or regular onions.
- Feel free to add your choice of herbs and spices. You could also use fresh herbs.
- The recipe can be easily scaled up to make a big batch.
- If you have any leftover cooked rice then making this recipe is a breeze.
