So, I've been trying to incorporate more mushrooms into my cooking. I love mushrooms and enjoy trying different varieties. I found a recipe for Mushroom Garlic Rice, and I couldn't wait to try it!
Now y'all know I sometimes do not make a recipe exactly the way that it's written. It might be because I want to make it AIP compliant or maybe I don't have the specific ingredients required.
The recipe called for butter. I used olive oil instead. Also, I did not have the spring onion the recipe called for, so I used some sweet Vidalia onion. I also used jasmine rice instead of white rice. Are they really that different though? I doubled the amount of garlic (of course)! Lastly, I used lightly dried parsley instead of fresh.
I rinsed the rice. I'm not sure if that had an effect on the stated cook time or not. The recipe said simmer for 20 minutes, but I ended up having to simmer for 40 minutes. Again, I don't know if that is due to my choice of rice.
The next time I make this dish, I will use spring onion, maybe more mushrooms, more garlic, fresh parsley, and a smidge more salt.
All in all, the rice turned out great!! And you know it will taste even better tomorrow after the flavors have truly set in. I will definitely make it again!
