Recipe video above. The oven baked version of the wildly popular Mushroom Rice! The idea behind this recipe is that the mushrooms act as a "lid" over the rice as it bakes, and the mushroom juices drip into the rice - best broth ever! The rice is FLUFFY, garlicky and buttery, and the mushrooms are golden brown and juicy inside.
View original recipe on recipetineats.comPreheat oven to 180C/350F.
Place mushrooms in a large bowl. Pour over hot melted butter, add garlic, salt and pepper. Toss well.
Place all the Rice ingredients in a baking pan - 22 x 33 cm / 9 x 13". Mine is 30 x 24 cm / 12 x 9.5" - don't need to be exact here, but don't stray too much from pan size.
Mix and shake the pan to spread the rice out evenly.
Spread the mushrooms over the rice - they will be partially submerged but should pretty much cover the whole surface area (to be the "lid" while the rice cooks).
Drizzle over olive oil.
Bake for 35 - 40 minutes or until mushroom is golden. Remove from oven and rest for 5 minutes.
Finishes: Add extra butter (if using) and scallions. Toss through rice. Serve!
