Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

1 cup long-grain white rice
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups vegetable broth
1 small onion, diced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Instructions

1. Sauté the vegetables: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes until softened and lightly browned.

2. Add the garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Toast the rice: Add the uncooked rice and stir for 1 minute to coat it in the buttery mixture.

4. Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15–18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

5. Finish and serve: Let the rice rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and stir in the fresh parsley. Add Parmesan if desired.
