Slicing fresh mushrooms is the only effort required and your trusty oven does the rest.
Superb served alongside chicken or fish or enjoyed on its own as a light and flavorful meal.
Ingredients2 to 3 baskets mushrooms, quartered
50 - 70 grams butter, melted and hot
2 to 3 teaspoons crushed garlic
Salt and coarse pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
RICE
1 1/2 cups uncooked Basmati rice
1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetarian stock
1 1/4 cups water
1 teaspoon dried thyme OR 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon garlic powder/granulated garlic
Salt and pepper
Finely sliced spring onion to garnish
Directions
1: Preheat oven to 180 C.
2: Place mushrooms in a large bowl, pour over hot, melted butter, add crushed garlic, salt and pepper and toss well.
3: Place all rice ingredients in a medium-sized baking dish - the standard foil tray is perfect - and shake to spread out evenly.
4: Spread the buttery mushrooms over the uncooked rice to cover the surface, drizzle over oil, and bake open at 35-40 minutes till mushrooms are golden.
5: Remove from the oven, allow to rest for 5 minutes, then fork through chopped spring onions.
COOK'S NOTES: Obviously this is best made with butter but using margarine is possible. May be made ahead and reheated. Can be made with white or brown mushrooms or a mix of the two. The mushrooms give off a wonderful broth that infuses the rice with delicious flavor. You can add cooked cubed chicken to make a full meal or enjoy as a wonderful side dish with absolutely no effort!
Enjoy
