A delicious and hearty Mushroom Pilaf made with long-grain white rice and fresh mushrooms, perfect as a side dish or a main course.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups long-grain white rice
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.
  3. Add the rice to the pan, stirring to coat it with the oil and mix with the vegetables. Cook for 2 minutes, allowing the rice to lightly toast.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth, and add the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Remove the pan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider sautéing a few chopped carrots or celery along with the onions.
  • You can substitute quinoa for rice for a gluten-free option, adjusting the cooking time as needed.
