Ingredients For Mushroom Rice
Mushrooms – Mushrooms have a unique and savory taste that makes them a delicious addition to many dishes, and their potential health benefits include boosting the immune system, reducing inflammation, and improving brain function.
Brown Rice – Brown rice is a low-acidic food that can be a good option for people with acid reflux, as it provides fiber and nutrients that promote digestion, regulate bowel movements, and may reduce the risk of acid reflux symptoms. Plus, its nutty flavor and chewy texture make it both satisfying and delicious.
Bone Broth – Bone broth can help relieve acid reflux symptoms by providing nutrients and minerals that promote healthy digestion, reduce inflammation, and may heal the gut lining. That’s why I try to sneak it into everything!
Salt & Thyme – To make all those savory flavors pop!
How To Make Mushroom Rice
First, saute the mushrooms in some bone broth for 4-5 minutes. Season with pink salt and thyme leaves. Set half the mushroom aside.
Then, add brown rice to a pot along with bone broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cover, letting it simmer on low for 45-50 minutes or until brown rice absorbs the liquid.
Finally, stir in the remaining mushrooms, and season with salt and thyme to taste.
What To Serve With Mushroom Rice
Mushroom rice is so delicious and satisfying, it’s like a party in your mouth that leaves you feeling full and happy – it’s a meal that can definitely stand on its own!
But it is usually considered a side dish. I can’t think of any main dish that it wouldn’t go well with honestly! I’d serve it alongside Pad Pak Thaior use it as your base in a Nourshing Bowl. It’s so delicious with our Crockpot Honey Chicken on top, I’m drooling just thinking about that combo again. It would also be a terrific side for our Maple Sage Breakfast Patties!
You really can’t go wrong here.
How To Store Mushroom Rice
To preserve the mushroom rice, place it in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months – to reheat, simply use a microwave.
