Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and honey until well combined. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan or skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the brown rice to the saucepan with the onions and mushrooms. Stir well to coat the rice in the oil, butter, and juices from the mushrooms.
- Pour the soy sauce and honey mixture over the rice mixture, stirring to deglaze the pan, ensuring nothing sticks to the bottom.
- Add the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Stir in the spice mix evenly. Ensure everything is well combined.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer.
- Cook for about 40-45 minutes or until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Fluff the pilaf with a fork.
- Serve hot as a main dish or a side, garnished with fresh herbs or additional mushrooms if desired.
Tips:
- Choose a variety of mushrooms for a more complex flavor. Shiitake, cremini, and button mushrooms work well together.
- Ensure that the mushrooms are sliced evenly to allow them to cook uniformly.
- For a richer taste, you can use a mix of olive oil and butter when sautéing the vegetables.
- Toast the brown rice slightly in the pan before adding the broth to enhance its nutty flavor.
- Let the pilaf rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the flavors to meld together.
