Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Mushroom Rice

[heart_this] · Oct 8, 2020 · 4 Comments

Mushroom Rice

Quick and easy one-pan mushroom rice! A simple side dish that’s great with so many meals!

Mushroom rice is one of my favourite side dishes! Plain rice is great with so many things and kicking it out a notch with the addition of mushrooms is simply amazing! This side is so easy to make, in fact it’s a one-pan recipe where the mushrooms are cooked in the pan before adding the rice and liquid, covering and cooking like you would cook plain rice. It’s really easy! I like to season the rice with onions, garlic and thyme and every once in a while I will add an extra like parmesan cheese or a drizzle of truffle oil! Mushroom rice is a great side dish for so many meals, including Thanksgiving!

Quick and easy one-pan mushroom rice! A simple side dish that’s great with so many meals!

ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme, chopped (or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup long grained rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth (or beef broth, or mushroom broth, or water)
directions
  1. Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat, add the mushrooms and onion and saute until the mushrooms are tender and release their moisture, about 10-15 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and thyme and saute until fragrant, about a minute.
  3. Add the rice, mix and cook until the rice starts to turn translucent, about 1-3 minutes.
  4. Add the broth and deglaze the bottom of the pan by scraping up the brown bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon while the broth sizzles.
  5. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes before turning the heat off and letting it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
  6. Mix the rice and enjoy!
Option: Add 1/4 cup parmesan cheese or asiago cheese or 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast.
Option: Add 1 tablespoon miso.
Option: Garnish with parsley.

    This is so good. Tastes a lot like a dish my mom used to make a lifetime ago : Chicken and Rice, but without the chicken which I didnt miss at all. (Not a fan of chicken). Have made it just as directed and another time, added a bit of deer meat. Both were good, but i do prefer it without the meat. Will be making it again tomorrow as I need something quick, easy and tastes good.
