Brown Rice Pilaf with Mushrooms
- 2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 pound small, white mushrooms, quartered
- 5 medium scallions, thinly sliced crosswise
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 large garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 cup long-grain brown rice
- 1 cup chicken stock or low-sodium broth
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 of a lime
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
- Add the mushrooms and all but 2 tablespoons of the sliced scallions, and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until any liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated and the mushrooms are browned, about 8 minutes.
- Add the garlic and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the soy sauce and rice, then add the stock and water and bring to a boil.
- Add a large pinch each of salt and pepper.
- Scrape the rice into a 9-inch square glass or ceramic baking dish.
- Cover the rice with foil and bake for 45 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Let the pilaf stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Squeeze the lime over the pilaf and fluff with a fork.
- Season with salt, garnish with the reserved 2 tablespoons of sliced scallions and serve.
