Ingredients

• 2 cups Basmati rice
• 3.5 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 cup Button mushrooms
• 1 cup Cremini mushrooms
• 1 cup Shiitake mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium, diced Onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) Parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then set aside.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 5

Add the button, cremini, and shiitake mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.

Step 6

Stir in the thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the mushrooms with seasoning.

Step 7

Add the rinsed rice to the skillet and stir it into the mushroom mixture. Toast the rice for 1-2 minutes, making sure it is well coated in the buttery mushroom mixture.

Step 8

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 9

Once simmering, cover the skillet with a lid or tightly with aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 10

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the liquid has been absorbed.

Step 11

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and fluff the rice with a fork.

Step 12

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese for added creaminess and umami flavor.

Step 13

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your Triple Mushroom Oven Baked Rice!
