Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 300 grams, sliced button mushrooms
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 100 grams (softened) low-fat cream cheese
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 2 cups low sodium vegetable broth
• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and sauté for 6-8 minutes until they release their moisture and become golden brown.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low. Incorporate the softened low-fat cream cheese into the skillet, stirring until it melts and combines with the mushrooms.

Step 6

Gradually add the unsweetened almond milk, stirring constantly to create a smooth, creamy sauce.

Step 7

In a separate medium-sized pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Stir in the uncooked rice, cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Step 8

Once the rice is cooked, gently fold it into the skillet with the creamy mushroom mixture. Stir to combine and heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top and, if desired, add a light dusting of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your Low Fat Creamy Mushroom and Rice!
