📝 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
  2. 2
    Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in sliced mushrooms and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and brown nicely. Season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
  3. 3
    Add uncooked rice to the skillet. Stir constantly for 2-3 minutes to toast the grains slightly, until they become translucent on the edges.
  4. 4
    Pour in vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover tightly with a lid and simmer undisturbed for 15-18 minutes.
  5. 5
    Remove from heat and let rest, still covered, for 5-10 minutes. Uncover, add chopped fresh parsley, and gently fluff with a fork. Serve immediately.

💡 Notes

For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth. Feel free to use other mushroom varieties like shiitake or a wild mushroom blend. For meal prep, store cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Reheat gently with a splash of water or broth to prevent drying.
