Mushroom Rice Pilaf
Mushroom Rice Pilaf! We decided to go and get boba this weekend and I should have asked for a dairy free drink; I was so excited to get boba that I forgot to ask for no dairy.
Unfortunately that smoothie and the yogurt I had in my green smoothie the next morning did not agree with me. So far I have had way too much Benadryl, there is tissue all over the house, and Josh is acting like the dairy police ( yellow tape on all things dairy)…
I guess my smoothies will be yogurt free until my allergies are under control. I find myself using more brown rice then I do white rice; brown rice does take a little bit longer to cook and my taste buds just enjoy it more. If you’re not a fan of brown rice, you can use white rice to make this dish.
I have just been using it for so long it comes natural to me. Mushroom rice pilaf is a side dish I have been making with most of my main courses. This dish will compliment any meal that you’re serving.
Mushroom Rice Pilaf Recipe:
½ tbsp. olive oil
1 small onion (diced)
6 large mushrooms (chopped)
¾ cup brown rice
1 ¾ cups vegetable broth (I used low sodium)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Recipe Directions: On medium heat add oil in a small sauce pan and onions; let onions cook until translucent. Add mushrooms to the pot stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice and let it cook for 3 minutes.
Stir in vegetable broth, add salt a peeper and cover with lid; reduce heat to low and let cook for 25-50 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Yikes, hope you feel better soon Shundara!
Yum, I love rice pilaf and this looks so tasty with all the mushrooms and onions! The brown rice sounds wonderful in here too 🙂
Thanks Kelly.. I am getting better…
I was watching Pioneer Woman about a month ago and she made this mouth-watering mushroom rice pilaf and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. Yet to make it but I will – your delicious reminder will do the trick. It looks amazing! And I hadn’t thought to use brown rice, which is what I mostly cook anyway.
Oh that’s neat! I am happy you are a lover of brown rice 🙂
Looks amazing. Rice and mushrooms is the best combo.
And I’m sorry to hear you got dairy. I hope you are ok!
Thanks Josefine I am getting better.. 🙂
I’m a big mushroom lover so this rice pilaf looks awesome!
Thanks Pamela 🙂
I just love mushrooms! Can’t get enough of them. Can’t wait to try you mushroom pilaf dish. Yum! And hope your stuffy nose goes away after eating dairy! That’s the worst. I’m surrounded by tissues over here too, but that’s because this cold is getting the best of me. Why oh why didn’t I get a flu shot?
I hope you get better! I can’t stand having a cold.. Oh bring on the flu shot 🙂
I love mushrooms. This recipe is a winner in my book. Can’t wait to make it for dinner one night next week. Thanks so much for sharing.
Oh your welcome Brandi 🙂 Let me know if you enjoyed it! 🙂
Yummmm! Mushrooms & Brown Rice! Love them together! Dairy-free Boba drinks are pretty hard to get; some powders contain whey or milk protein. I stopped drinking them when I became a vegan! You can also make it yourself 🙂 I’m so sorry to hear about your experience, I hope you feel better!
I think I am going to half to start making them.. Thanks for the tip 🙂
Great recipe! I just made it and it is easy and delicious. Took me closer to an hour to get the rice nice and tender on low heat.
what does this recipe serve…..? 4, 6 , 8?
3-4 people
Making this tonight…..yummmm!! Thanks for the idea!!
What’s the serving size?
Hey I was wondering if this recipe makes as much as is in picture or should I double everything to make more? 3/4 cup of rice sounds like it would be for 1 person and I am making for 3. Please let me know! Thank you! This looks so yummy I can’t wait to try it! 🙂
How many cups is 6 large mushrooms chopped? My mushrooms are already sliced. Thanks! I can’t wait to make this.
I honestly don’t know. I made this recipe a while ago, but you could use about a cup the mushrooms will shrink 🙂
one somewhat crucial piece of information was left out…is it cooked or uncooked brown rice?
Actually I didn’t leave it out the recipe.. From the photos and the well written recipe you can tell I used uncooked rice :). I use the words cook until the rice is tender hope that helps… 🙂
You were incredibly off on the timing of cooking the rice. Takes much longer than 25 minutes! Delicious but I was disappointed as I ended up not being able to even try it until 40 minutes after I had finished the rest of my dinner.
When I made it a year ago and tested a few times after it was perfect at 25 minutes with a lid on.. I’m sorry that the timing was off for you.. Nonetheless I’m happy you enjoyed the recipe :)..
