Ingredients 

  • 1 cup rice soaked in water for at least 1 hour
  • 2 cups button mushrooms sliced
  • 1 onion large, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • 2 ½ cups water
  • salt to taste
  • ⅓ tsp ground pepper

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion and sliced mushrooms for 5 minutes.
  • Drain rice and add it into the saucepan. Stir to coat in oil.
  • Add water.
  • Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cover with a lid. Let it rest until all liquid is absorbed.

Notes

* This is the failproof method I use for making rice pilafs. Boil it for just 20 minutes and then cover with a lid and remove from heat. The rice will absorb all liquid and you won't risk burning the pilaf.
