This dish is really easy to cook and only takes 35 minutes, depending on the rice you use. My family enjoyed it all on its own with some leftover spinach. When life gets better, which I am positive it will, then this dish can turn into a side dish. It tasted really delicious with a hint of Indian flavors. You can use portabellini or button mushrooms in this dish. I had the white button mushrooms so I had to make do. How we take for granted that we can pop into the shops whenever we need something. Now I appreciate the art of menu planning and making do with what we have. I am also using this to teach my kids that can’t have everything they want whenever they want. This is teaching them discipline and making them appreciate food more. I fried my mushrooms and garlic in some oil until nicely caramelized. I then melted some butter and fried my onion, added the rice and mushroom back to the pot and allowed it to cook in some vegetable stock. How much easier can it get. In just over 30 minutes we had a flavorsome Mushroom Pilaf Rice ready for lunch.
This dish is not overly spiced, I only added a little bit of chilli flakes to it. You can totally leave that out. I prefer using long grain rice for this dish because other rice can get a little mushy. It’s a great dish for kids too.
