Ingredients

mushrooms
650 g
long-grain rice
1.5 cup
chicken or vegetable broth
1.5 cup
water
1.3 cup
butter
50 g
olive oil
1.5 tbsp
garlic cloves
3 pcs
garlic powder
1 tsp
dried thyme
1 tsp

1 pinch

3 pcs

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mushrooms with melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly until the mushrooms are well coated.

In a 9x13 inch (22x33 cm) baking pan, combine the long-grain rice, broth, water, dried thyme, and garlic powder. Stir well and shake the pan gently to ensure the rice is spread in an even layer.

Arrange the seasoned mushrooms over the rice in a single layer. They will be partially submerged but should cover most of the surface area to trap steam while the rice cooks.

Drizzle the top evenly with olive oil.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the mushrooms are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes.
