Now, let’s gather what you need to bring this dish to life:
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain rice (like basmati or jasmine)
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini work well)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Alright, now that we’ve got our ingredients set, let’s break down the steps to bring this deliciousness together!
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a medium-sized baking dish and set it aside.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Throw in the diced onions and sauté them until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add in the garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are golden brown, around another 5-7 minutes. Stir in the dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Now, add your rice to the skillet, stirring it up with the mushroom mixture so every grain is coated with that yummy goodness.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring everything to a simmer.
- Transfer the mixture into your prepped baking dish, cover it tightly with foil, and pop it in the oven. Let it bake for about 25-30 minutes until the rice is tender and has absorbed all that broth.
- Once it’s done, take it out and let it sit for about 5 minutes before fluffing it up with a fork. Sprinkle some fresh parsley on top for that final touch.
And there you have it! This baked mushroom rice is not only easy to make but also a dish that’ll warm your soul. Pair it with a side salad or some roasted veggies, and you’re set for a meal that feels like a warm hug. Enjoy every bite!
