Mushroom Pulav

Mushroom Pulav

Mushroom Pulav is a mild rice variety in which mushrooms are well sauteed and minimum seasonings are used to bring out the fragrance and richness of mushrooms. I usually use baby bella mushrooms.

Here's how I make Mushroom Pulav:

2 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1 cup roughly chopped baby bella mushrooms
1 tsp minced garlic
1 cup cooked rice (I have used brown rice+quinoa mix)
Seasonings - Salt and pepper
Handful of frozen peas
1 -2 tsp fresh squeezed lemon juice

Heat the oil in a skillet and add the onions and mushrooms.

Saute on medium high heat, stirring often till mushrooms become dry and well brown. Then reduce heat to medium and add the garlic. Saute 2 mins.

Add the cooked rice, salt, pepper and peas. Mix gently. Let it heat thru.

Take off heat, squeeze lemon juice and again mix gently. Serve warm. This Mushroom Pulav does not need any accompaniments.
