Mushroom Rice is quick and easy dish that combines butter garlic sautéed mushrooms with rice to give a perfect flavorful meal. It’s practically effortless to make for a super delicious and satisfying vegetarian main or side dish any night of the week. There is nothing complicated here: Simple and handy pantry staples are sautéed on the stovetop before adding uncooked rice and broth. Then cover the pot, bring to a simmer, and step back. Before you know it, the tender rice and mushrooms are ready to fluff and serve with your favorite dishes. I suggest that you make a large batch for meal prepping - and because people are definitely going to ask for seconds! *For more hearty vegetarian dishes, try these recipes:
