Rice with Mushrooms

Hi All!
Normally I don't condone minute rice, but for this one you kind of need it. This recipe was easy (dump in ingredients, bake) and you can easily dress it up if you wanted to (i.e. add more veggies or some fresh herbs, perhaps a bit of thyme?). It also has readily available ingredients which you can pick up anywhere.  This recipe came out of the lovely Junior league of Ogden cookbook I picked up in Park City Utah so there won't be an original link with this one.  I paired it with the beer brined grilled pork chops and the garlic Parmesan green beans and it was great!

Rice with Mushrooms

As it was this dish was very nice, but I think we could add a few things to make it just a bit better...

Ingredients:

2 2/3 c. Minute rice (uncooked)
2 Tbs Onion- grated
2 cans (14.5 oz/can) of beef broth
2 Tbs Soy sauce
6 Tbs vegetable oil (can reduce to 3 Tbs for lower fat)
1 small can of mushrooms, drained (may want to try fresh chopped portabello cap or baby bellas for more flavor)
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350F

Combine all ingredients in a casserole dish

This watery goo is what grated onions look like. Yep, I just ran an onion over a grater. The issue is that onions are very watery so I tried to make sure

Half of the beef broth needed

Soy sauce!

Veggie oil (I used canola instead)

Adding the oil (Should have used 3 Tbs rather than 6... oh well will do so next time)

Drained mushrooms

Thump goes the pile of mushrooms into the dish, this was followed up with some pepper being added which I didn't take a picture of

Bake 40 minutes at 350F

Baked! Its a bit crusty on top so you need to make sure you mix it thoroughly and let it sit for a moment. Even after that you may have a few crunchy pieces when you eat it. Sorry!

This was so easy and didn't require very much hands on time so I'd say its a mid-week winner. It could be served with chicken, pork or beef since it has a fairly neutral flavor but went extremely well with the beer brined grilled pork chops.
Happy eating!
