Lemony Pilaf With Mushrooms Recipes

RICE PILAF WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large flameproof casserole and cook the onion over low heat for 5 minutes.
• Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper and continue cooking 5 minutes longer or until the mushrooms release their liquid.
• Turn up the heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the moisture in the mushrooms evaporates.
• Add the rice and stir it for a few minutes or until the grains are transparent.
• Pour in the stock or stock mixed with water and bring to a boil.
• Lower the heat, cover the pan and cook the rice for 20 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed (If you have a heat diffuser, set the pan on it to prevent the bottom from scorching).
• Transfer half the rice to a plastic container (save for making turkey fried rice).
• Serve remaining rice at once.
