Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms I used baby bella
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic about 2 cloves
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth
  • fresh parsley optional garnish

Instructions

  • In a medium pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add 8 ounces sliced mushrooms and ½ cup diced onion. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the onions begin to soften and the mushrooms begin to release some moisture. Then add 2 teaspoons minced garlic, 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 1-2 more minutes.
  • Add 2 tablespoons butterand 1 cup long grain white rice to the pot. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes, letting the rice absorb the liquid from the mushrooms.
  • Add 1 ½ cups chicken broth and stir, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Cook for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the rice sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Top with fresh parsley if desired and serve.
