Ingredients

• 500 grams button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2.5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and become golden brown.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

In the prepared baking dish, combine the uncooked rice, sautéed mushroom mixture, chicken or vegetable broth, heavy cream, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together to ensure the rice is evenly distributed.

Step 5

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.

Step 6

After 35 minutes, carefully remove the foil and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top. Return the dish to the oven uncovered and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the top is golden brown.

Step 7

Remove the Mushroom and Rice Bake from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to settle before serving.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
