Mushroom Rice Recipe
This easy mushroom rice recipe is a perfect side dish. It is packed full of mushroom flavour, mildly spiced for little kicks and utterly delicious. This is a simple one-pot rice pilaf recipe, that requires a handful of ingredients and ready under half an hour.
This recipe is vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free
Equipment
- cast iron pot or
- sturdy saucepan
Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked basmati rice
- 1 ½ lb mushrooms cleaned and sliced. I used a combination of white button mushrooms and cremini (brown) mushrooms
- ½ cup chopped onions
- 3 large garlic cloves chopped
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- Salt to taste
- ⅓ cup green onions chopped also known as spring onions
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper or use according to preference
Instructions
- Rinse the rice until water runs clear, drain and set aside.
- Place a pan on medium-high heat, add butter and olive oil and heat until butter melts and hot.
- Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally so you don’t burn it. Add the chopped onions and garlic and continue to cook until onions become soft.
- Stir the washed rice into the pan to combine, then pour the stock over it, add salt and cayenne pepper and mix to combine.
- Place a lid on the rice, reduce the heat and cook for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender, fluffy and all liquid absorbed. Remove the lid and stir in the chopped green onions, put the lid back on the rice and leave for another 1 minute so the flavour from the green onions infuses with the rice.
- Serve rice immediately, garnish with more chopped green onions or parsley.
Notes
How to store
Mushroom rice pilaf keeps well in the fridge but just like many of my recipes, I like to cook the portions that would be enough for the four of us. To store in the fridge, make sure that the rice is completely cool then portion into an airtight container at the right temperature for up to 3 days.
In the freezer: you can store this dish for up to 3 months in the freezer.
