This simple mushroom rice combines earthy mushrooms, savory garlic, rich butter, and flavorful vegetable broth for a simple yet flavorful side dish.
Mushrooms
Cremini, shiitake, portobello, oyster, white button, there are so many delicious mushrooms to try, and each with its own delicious flavor and texture. In fact, there are over 50,000 different species of mushrooms out there. Mushrooms can be used for a variety of dishes, from soups and pasta to casseroles, baked goods, and more. If you are looking for easy mushroom recipes, then you’ve come to the right place.
Nothing hits home quite like a Creamy Mushroom Soup, especially with tons of savory garlic. But mushrooms don’t have to be the main ingredient, they’re also great in a supporting role like our Instant Pot Beef Stew or Mini Garden Turkey Loaves. Try whipping up a delicious mushroom sauce, like our Mushroom Herb Gravy, or see how roasting them concentrates their naturally delicious flavors in our Balsamic Roasted Mushrooms. Looking for mushroom chicken recipes? You’ve got to try Creamy Mushroom Chicken with Crispy Onions or Balsamic Chicken and Mushrooms. Prefer portobello recipes? We’ve got those, too. Don’t miss out on Chipotle Portobello Oven Fajitas or the Ultimate Portobello Mushroom Pizza. We’ve got plenty of other mushroom recipe ideas below to try, so make sure to put a few on your list!
