- 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)
- In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
- 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.
- 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.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, and add the dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- 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.
- Remove the pan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
- 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.
