One-Pot Mushroom Rice is a savory, comforting side or main dish made with tender rice, sautéed mushrooms, garlic, and herbs—all cooked together in one pot for maximum flavor and minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms (button, cremini, or mixed), sliced
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice or jasmine rice
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 2 tbsp grated Parmesan or nutritional yeast
  • Optional: chopped parsley or green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a medium saucepan or deep skillet over medium heat.
  2. Sauté chopped onion for 3–4 minutes until softened, then add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms with a pinch of salt, and cook for 5–7 minutes until they release moisture and begin to brown.
  4. Stir in rice and toast for 1–2 minutes.
  5. Pour in broth, add thyme or seasoning, and stir well.
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15–18 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
  7. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  8. Top with Parmesan or nutritional yeast and garnish with herbs before serving.

Notes

  • Add peas or spinach during the last few minutes for extra veggies.
  • Use brown rice for a heartier version—adjust liquid and cook time accordingly.
  • Finish with a splash of cream or extra butter for richness.
  • Serve as a side or bulk up with protein for a main dish.
