Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt butter or olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 6–8 minutes until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in rinsed long-grain white rice, coating with the mushroom mixture. Toast rice for 1–2 minutes.
  4. Pour in low-sodium broth, stirring well. Increase heat to bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15–18 minutes until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
  6. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

Rinse rice to remove excess starch for fluffiness. Sauté mushrooms until golden for enhanced flavor. Monitor liquid to avoid mushy rice. Always let rice rest covered for better texture. Adjust seasonings before serving.
