🍄 Ingredients
- 1 cup basmati rice (or long-grain rice)
- 2 tbsp olive oil or vegan butter
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (cremini, shiitake, or button)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari (for umami)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions
- Sauté the aromatics:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until translucent. Add garlic and cook for another minute. - Add mushrooms:
Stir in sliced mushrooms. Cook until golden and slightly caramelized — this builds deep flavor. - Add rice:
Add the rice and stir well to coat it in the oil and mushroom mixture for about 1 minute. - Simmer:
Pour in vegetable broth and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. - Fluff and serve:
Turn off heat and let the rice rest for 5 minutes. Fluff gently with a fork, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.
🌿 Serving Suggestions

✨ Tips
