Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups basmati rice
- 2.5 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 250 grams cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon thyme, fresh
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the saucepan. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and any liquid has evaporated.
Sprinkle in the thyme and stir to combine with the mushrooms and onions.
Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan, stirring to coat with the oil and mushroom mixture, and cook for 2 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the bay leaves. Stir well, then season with salt and black pepper.
Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the bay leaves, fluff the rice with a fork, and stir in the chopped parsley.
Serve the savory mushroom rice warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
