Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rinse 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice with 2 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
  2. Step 2: While rice cooks, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 8 oz sliced Pennsylvania cremini mushrooms and sauté for 6-7 minutes until golden and any moisture has evaporated.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 minced garlic cloves to the mushrooms, stirring continuously for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned. Stir in 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves and cook for another 30 seconds.
  4. Step 4: Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and transfer it to a large bowl. Add the sautéed mushroom mixture, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Toss gently to combine all flavors.
  5. Step 5: Serve warm as a standalone vegetarian rice bowl or alongside grilled proteins.
