Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice (or basmati for added aroma)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (California Extra Virgin Oil)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth if preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional, for added umami)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse the Rice: Start by rinsing the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.
  2. Prepare Ingredients: Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the mushrooms so everything is ready to go.
  3. Sauté Aromatics and Mushrooms: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent. Stir in the garlic, then add the mushrooms and sauté until golden.
  4. Add Spices and Rice: Sprinkle thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper over the mushroom mixture. Add the rinsed rice and toast it slightly.
  5. Pour in the Broth: Slowly pour in the broth, ensuring the rice is submerged. Add soy sauce if desired. Bring to a gentle boil.
  6. Simmer to Perfection: Reduce heat, cover the pot, and let the rice simmer for 15–18 minutes. Allow the rice to steam for 5 more minutes after cooking.
  7. Fluff and Garnish: Fluff the rice with a fork, sprinkle parsley on top, and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can customize this dish by adding other vegetables like bell peppers or peas.
  • For a richer flavor, you can use mushroom broth instead of vegetable broth.
  • This dish pairs well with a side of steamed greens or a fresh salad.
