Ingredients
2 tbs olive oil6 cloves garlic (diced finely)8 oz. mushrooms (sliced or chopped)1 large onion (chopped)2 cups short-grain brown rice2 cups dry sherry2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth10 sprigs fresh parsley (chopped)4 tbs shredded parmesan cheeseSalt & pepper to taste
In a large saute pan, heat oil over medium heat. Saute garlic, onions, & mushrooms until onion softens (about 4 minutes). Stirring, add brown rice and let cook for 30 seconds (this gives it more flavor). Add 1 cup of broth and stir until rice and vegetables are incorporated.
Stirring slowly, let cook until the rice seems like it needs more liquid. Add another cup of broth. Repeat and continue, alternating broth with sherry, until all of the liquids have been incorporated into the rice and the rice is just tender. This will take quite a while, usually about 50-60 minutes or so (but it's worth the wait!).
Remove from heat, stir in shredded Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, & salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley or some additional Parmesan cheese.
Makes 8 servings and goes great alongside some grilled salmon and steamed asparagus or a fresh salad.
