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 · 13 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!

    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.

    This was very good! I used vegan butter, vegetable broth and maitake mushrooms (hen of the woods.) I added cubed tempeh when I put in the mushrooms to cook. We made this as a main dish for 2, and had a bit left over. Thanks for posting!

      You can either add it with the broth or you can mix it in after cooking. Enjoy!

      You should be able to modify the recipe for minute rice. Change the amount of broth and cook time for the rice based on the package.

    This looks so delicious. I see you made a recommendation for minute rice. Can you make a suggestion for brown rice. I generally don’t eat white rice, but I really want to try this recipe. Thanks.

    We used to make this years ago and still love it! It’s killer with consommé.
