MUSHROOM RICE RECIPE

Mushroom Rice Recipe image

Recipe VIDEO above. One for mushroom lovers! Brown the mushrooms well so the base of the pot turns brown, then deglaze it with broth so all that flavour ends up in the rice as well as staining it a lovely earthy brown colour. Also see Baked Mushroom Rice!

Ingredients

2 - 3 tbsp olive oil (, separated)
30g / 2 tbsp butter
750g / 1.5 lb mushrooms (, sliced 3 - 5 mm / 1/8 - 1/5" thick (Note 1))
2 garlic cloves (, minced)
1 small onion (, finely diced)
1 1/2 cups long grain rice, uncooked ((Note 2))
2 1/4 cups vegetable stock / broth ((or chicken) (Note 3))
1 1/2 - 2 cups green onions (, sliced)
Optional: More butter to stir through

Steps:

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pot over high heat. Add half the mushrooms, and cook for 5 minutes until golden. Season with salt and pepper then remove and set aside (we put these in at the end, mushrooms cooked in rice don't stay as golden).
If the pot is dry, another 1/2 - 1 tbsp oil, and add butter. When melted, add onions and garlic.
Cook for 30 seconds, then add remaining mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes or until mushrooms are lightly browned (they won't caramelise as well as the first batch) and the base of the pot is brown.
Add rice and a splash of broth. Mix so the brown stuff on the bottom of the pot mixes into the liquid. (Video below helpful here)
Once the base of the pot is clean, add remaining liquid. Place lid on, bring to a simmer then turn down to medium low.
Cook for 15 minutes or until there is no residual liquid (tilt pot to check).
Remove from stove, remove lid, QUICKLY toss in reserved mushrooms and scallions, put lid back on. Leave for 10 minutes (do not skip this step!).
Fluff rice using a fork or wooden spoon. OPTIONAL: Stir through more butter. :) Serve!

MUSHROOM RICE

Mushroom Rice image

Rice with mushrooms, garlic, onion - who could beat that? My family loves this recipe! You can also use it as a main meal if you add cooked chicken after the rice is cooked. This recipe works equally well with white or brown rice, instant or otherwise. It always comes out delicious!
