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!
