Buttery Baked Mushroom Rice

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

In a large ovenproof baking dish, combine rice, stock, half of the onion slices and spices. Cut half of the butter into cubes and scatter over the rice.

Cover baking dish (with a lid or foil if you don’t have a lid) and bake rice for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt remaining butter in a small dish. Add mushrooms and remaining onions to the dish with a sprinkle of salt and stir to combine.

After 30 minutes, remove rice from the oven. Uncover, stir, and taste—the rice won’t be fully cooked at this point but add a few sprinkles of salt if you think it needs it.

Spread mushroom mixture on top of the partially cooked rice. Return to oven uncovered and bake for 30 minutes more until liquid is absorbed and mushrooms are roasted. Sprinkle once more with salt if desired and serve.
