Ingredients
- •1 cup long-grain white rice
- •2 cups vegetable broth
- •1 tbsp olive oil
- •8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- •1 medium onion, chopped
- •2 cloves garlic, minced
- •1 tsp dried thyme
- •1/4 tsp black pepper
- •1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- •2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- 1Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- 2In a medium pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender.
