A comforting and flavorful one-pot meal featuring creamy rice, earthy mushrooms, and fragrant thyme, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups long-grain white rice
  • 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 3 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 0.75 cups heavy cream
  • 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  2. Add the mushrooms: Toss in the sliced mushrooms and stir frequently for about 5 minutes until they begin to brown and soften.
  3. Stir in the rice: Add the long-grain rice, stirring it with the mushroom mixture until the grains are slightly translucent.
  4. Pour in the broth: Carefully add the vegetable broth and season with salt and black pepper. Bring everything to a gentle simmer.
  5. Incorporate cream and thyme: Once the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the broth (about 18-20 minutes), reduce the heat. Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh thyme.
  6. Final touches: Allow the rice to rest for a few minutes off the heat, discard the thyme sprigs, and stir to combine all flavors.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding vegetable broth if needed.
