Main Dish

Steps

Rinse the rice under cold water until water runs clear.
In a small pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil.
Add the rice and a pinch of salt, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.
While rice is cooking, heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add sliced mushrooms, cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and browned.
Season mushrooms with salt and black pepper.
Once rice is cooked, fluff with a fork and mix in the garlic butter mushrooms.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.

Tips for Garlic Butter Mushroom Rice

The mushrooms are ready when their released moisture has cooked away and their surfaces look browned rather than wet.
Avoid crowding the skillet; crowded mushrooms tend to steam and stay pale.
Let the covered rice stand briefly after cooking so the grains settle and are less likely to break when mixed.

Drink pairing

A crisp, unoaked white wine like Pinot Grigio
Its bright, clean character balances the buttery rice and savory mushrooms without overpowering the garlic.
