Learn how to make delicious Garlic Butter Mushroom Rice. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 cup long-grain rice
2 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for non-vegetarians)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound mushrooms, sliced (use cremini, button, or a mix)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by heating the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and soft. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Stir in the rice, ensuring each grain is coated with the butter and garlic mixture. Cook for about 2 minutes, toasting the rice lightly.
Pour in the vegetable broth, bring the mixture to a gentle boil, and then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
Once the rice is tender, gently fold in the sautéed mushrooms. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. This resting time helps the flavors meld beautifully.
Before serving, fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
