Cheesy Mushroom Rice
A vegetarian (not vegan) dish that can be served as a side dish for omnivores and a main dish for people who prefer not to eat meat. Fresh mushrooms will give you a more richly flavored rice, but if canned is all you have at the moment (like I did when I cooked this dish), worry not because you'll get good results too.
Ingredients
- 1 cup very hot newly-cooked rice
- 1 tablespoon butter at room temperature
- sliced mushrooms (I used canned), drained well
- ΒΌ cup grated cheese plus more to garnish
- 1 tablespoon snipped parsley
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- snipped parsley to garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, stir together the rice and butter until the butter is melted and every grain of rice is glistening.
- Add the mushrooms and stir.
- Add the cheese and stir until melted.
- Sprinkle in some salt and pepper.
- Add the parsley and stir.
- Top with more grated cheese and snipped parsley before serving.
