Description
Flavor-Packed One-Pot Mushroom Rice is a quick, savory, and comforting dish loaded with umami-rich mushrooms and fluffy rice. Perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep, this gluten-free rice dish is made in one pot for easy cleanup and full flavor.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup long grain white rice, rinsed
2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Heat oil or butter in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until browned and tender, about 6-8 minutes.
2. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook until translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Stir in the rinsed rice. Toast for 1-2 minutes to coat in the mushroom mixture.
4. Pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes, until rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
5. Turn off heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, season with salt and pepper, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, use a mix of cremini and shiitake mushrooms.
Rinsing the rice is crucial for preventing clumping and achieving fluffiness.
Add a splash of broth when reheating to keep it moist.
