Ingredients

• 1 cup white rice
• 2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 medium (chopped) yellow onion
• 2 cups (sliced) button mushrooms
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the rinsed rice. Stir, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Step 3

While the rice is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and begins to caramelize.

Step 5

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 6-8 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Drizzle the soy sauce over the mushroom-onion mixture and sprinkle with black pepper. Stir to combine and let it cook for 1-2 more minutes.

Step 8

Add the cooked rice to the skillet and toss everything together, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with the mushroom-onion mixture.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or soy sauce, if necessary.

Step 10

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm!
