Ingredients:

1/3 cup soy sauce
80g
2 tbsp honey
20g
1/3 cup mushrooms
72g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 tbsp butter
30g
1 onion
160g
2 cups brown rice
460g
2 cups vegetable broth
460g
1/2 cup spice mix
72g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and honey until well combined. Set aside.
2. Sauté the Onions and Mushrooms:
- 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.
3. Add the Rice and Coating:
- 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.
4. Deglaze and Cook:
- 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.
5. Add the Spice Mix:
- Stir in the spice mix evenly. Ensure everything is well combined.
6. Simmer:
- 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.
7. Serve:
- 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.

Mixed Mushroom and Herb Pilaf is not only a wholesome and delicious dish but also a versatile one that can be paired with a variety of main courses or enjoyed on its own.
