Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. 6. Add sliced mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and cook until mushrooms are browned and tender, about 5-7 minutes. 7. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with mushrooms. 8. Stir in butter and cook for another 2 minutes, mixing well to combine all flavors. 9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
