Key Ingredients
Prep the ingredients, saute them in cooking fat, and pressure cook. That’s all this easy rice recipe is about and it will take you less than 30 minutes. It boasts delicious flavors of sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onion, and garlic. My kids have approved it and it makes a fantastic school lunch box recipe too. Why make plain boring steamed rice, when you can make Seasoned rice for a similar time! Oil and Butter - Use Olive Oil or any other oil you prefer. Vegan or regular butter will add a buttery flavor to the rice. Onion and Garlic - Dice the onion, finely. Use a garlic press to mince the garlic or use a grater. You can use store-bought garlic paste for convenience. Mushrooms - The recipe uses white button mushrooms. You can also use brown button mushrooms, Cremini mushrooms, Baby Bella, Shitake Mushrooms, or a combination of your favorites. White Basmati Rice - I prefer to use Tilda Extra-long basmati rice for rice dishes. Rinse the rice at least 5 to 6 times, until clear. Set it aside. Vegetable stock - Vegetable stock adds a lot to the flavor. Although water will do the needful, stock, broth, and Better than Bouillon vegetarian will make a difference in the dish. Seasoning - Season with Salt & Pepper to taste. Additional seasoning like Italian seasoning, chilli flakes can be added. Spring onions - Finish the dish with a sprinkle of green part of spring onions (scallions)
Tips for making the Best Instant Pot Mushroom rice
Rinse the Rice well – No matter what type of rice you use, I will recommend rinsing the rice at least 5-6 times until clear. Slice the mushroom – Do not slice it too thin as the mushrooms get dissolved in the rice. Do not add Spring Onions while cooking, it can turn a bit mushy. I love the crunch that comes from the spring onions when you add them as garnish. Butter lends the wonderful buttery texture and flavor to this rice dish. Do not skip it in the recipe. For a vegan alternative, use Vegan Butter. Stock – For extra rich intense flavors, use a mushroom stock cube or dried mushrooms in your stock. Easy to Scale Recipe – This recipe can be doubled or Tripled easily. Remember for every cup of rice, add 2 cups of liquid.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this one-pot mushroom rice with a soup or a light salad for a wholesome meal. Stuff this seasoned rice into the peppers, top with cheese, and bake for 7-10 minutes at 180C.
