Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
• 8 ounces white button mushrooms
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 1.5 cups long-grain white rice
• 3 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian version)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Start by cleaning and slicing both the cremini and white button mushrooms into thin slices. Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter and olive oil together over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the onions to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until they become translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 6-8 minutes, or until the mushrooms are softened and have released most of their moisture.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 6

Pour the rice into the pan and stir well to coat it in the mushroom mixture, allowing it to toast slightly for 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Add the chicken broth (or vegetable broth), dried thyme, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper to the rice mixture. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for approximately 18-20 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the liquid and is tender.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
