Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups long-grain white rice
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced (button or cremini)
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the pot. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.
  3. Stir in the rice, dried thyme, and dried parsley. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the rice to toast slightly.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
  6. Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
