Rice Pilaf

 

1 green onion

1 clove garlic

5 1/2 T. uncooked rice

3 oz. fresh mushrooms

1 tsp. dried parsley

1/2 small onion

3/4 C. vegetable broth

1/4 T. olive oil

 

Wipe mushrooms with damp paper towel and slice; mince garlic and finely chop onion. Heat oil in a nonstick saucepan on medium heat, and sauté onion and garlic until soft, about 2-3 minutes; be careful not to burn. Adjust heat to medium-high, add broth and parsley: bring to a boil. Add rice, return to a boil, then reduce heat to medium: add mushrooms, stir and cover. Simmer 15-20 minutes, or until rice is cooked and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, another 5 minutes and serve.
