Herbed Mushroom Rice
Description
Herbed Mushroom Rice is a hearty, flavor-packed dish where earthy mushrooms and fragrant herbs transform simple basmati rice into something extraordinary. Plump mushrooms are first sautéed in butter with garlic, onions, and a blend of Italian seasoning, chili flakes, salt, and pepper, infusing them with deep savory notes. Fluffy basmati rice—soaked beforehand for the perfect texture—is then simmered with vegetable broth, soaking up all those aromatic flavors. A sprinkle of fresh coriander adds a burst of brightness, while extra buttery sautéed mushrooms on top make each serving irresistibly rich. Perfect as a standalone vegetarian main or a versatile side, this dish balances comfort and elegance in every bite.
