One-pot, Oven Baked Garlic Mushroom Rice. A simple, comforting, dump-and-bake no-frills meal or side that you will want to make again and again!
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
COOK TIME: 45 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 55 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups (400 grams) long grain white rice , or basmati or jasmine (it won't work as written with any other rice)
  • 3½ cups (840 mls) vegetable or mushroom stock
  • 1 medium onion , diced
  • 5 to 10 cloves garlic , minced (adjust amount to suit your tastes)
  • 1½ teaspoons fine sea salt , plus a little more for seasoning the top
  • ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper , plus a little more for seasoning the top
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 6 heaping cups (550 grams) sliced mushrooms , white or cremini (chestnut in the UK)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted vegan butter (optional - omit for oil-free)

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Preheat oven to 380℉ (190℃).
  • Rinse the rice then place it in ceramic or glass 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Note that if you use a dish of a different size, depth, or material the rice may not cook properly/evenly.
  • Scatter the onion, garlic and seasonings over the rice then give it a quick stir to distribute evenly.
  • Spread the sliced mushrooms evenly over the top of the rice mixture then pour over the stock. It's important that the mushrooms cover the entire surface.
  • Drizzle olive oil or melted vegan butter all over the mushrooms (omit for oil-free) then season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Cover tightly with foil or a lid and bake for 45 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and check the rice is tender. If not give it a stir, cover and return to the oven for another 10 minutes. 
  • If there is any visible liquid uncover and return to the oven for about 5 minutes and it will evaporate off. 
  • Serve immediately.

NOTES

Adjust the amount of garlic used to suit your tastes. I LOVE garlic and use the full 10 cloves. Reduce that if you aren't so much of a garlic fan.
