Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 pound mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, or wild mushroom mix), sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup long-grain white rice (uncooked)
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and begin to brown.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the uncooked rice, coating it with the butter and mushroom juices. Cook for 1 minute.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet tightly, and simmer for 15 to 18 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Do not lift the lid while simmering.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Fluff the rice gently with a fork. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute chicken broth for vegetable broth.
- If you use brown rice, increase the cooking time to about 40 minutes and add a little extra liquid if needed.
- Use a mix of fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary along with the parsley for an elevated taste.
