Ingredients
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil1 cup coarsely chopped white button or cremini mushrooms1 garlic clove, finely choppedFreshly ground pepper1 cups uncooked Organic Brown Jasmine Rice2 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken or vegetable broth (or half broth and half water), heated to a boil1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, optional
Directions
The nutty taste of brown rice goes well with the richness of mushroom. For variety, substitute shitakes (stem discarded and caps diced) for the white button (or cremini) mushrooms. This is delicious topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Select a flameproof baking dish with a cover. Heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the mushroom and onion; cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

Stir in the garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add a grinding of black pepper. Add the rice and stir to combine. Add the broth and salt, if needed. Stir to distribute the rice evenly.

Cover and transfer to the oven. Bake until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
