Description

This is one of my favorite dishes. I love everything about it: texture, flavors, you name it. It is so simple and yet so tasty. I usually eat this with a big bunch of chopped parsley on top because I’m such a parsley lover and this combination seems perfect to me.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Unrefined Sunflower Oil
  • 1 whole Onion, Chopped
  • 1 cup Sliced Fresh Mushrooms
  • 1 cup Brown Rice
  • 2 cups Water
  • Sea Salt, to taste
  • ⅓ teaspoons Ground Pepper

Preparation

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion and sliced mushrooms for 5 minutes. Add brown rice and stir to coat in oil. Add water. Season with salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil, then simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and cover with a lid. Let it rest until all liquid is absorbed.

Tasty…but yeah, I had to simmer for an hour too. I think it would have been better a even little longer too but the rest of the food was starting to get cold!

I like that you used fresh spinach. I’ll try it too!
I think it depends on the rice.. I made this dish several times but it never took longer 30-40 minutes.
Anyways I’m glad you liked it!

I made this tonight and instead of sunflower oil, I used 2 t. olive oil. I’m on a restricted fat diet so that’s the max I can use. I added a bunch of fresh spinach and used 2 cups of chicken stock. It was delicious. Only complaint, it took way longer than 30 minutes – more like an hour. I will make this again – it was such a great variation from plain old brown rice.

Easy and tasty. Substituted the water with chicken broth. I have made this a couple of times now and the family loves it. Thank you! :)
