Brown Rice With Fresh Oregano And Mushrooms Recipe

Ingredients:
oil, olive, salad or cooking
mushrooms, white, raw
spices, oregano, dried
rice, white, long-grain, regular, unenriched, cooked without salt
water, bottled, generic
salt, table

Directions:
Saute/fry mushrooms and fresh oregano in extra virgin olive oil or possibly butter in nonstick pan for 1 minute.
Remove from pan; reserve.
Saute/fry rice in same pan, stirring constantly, till rice is well coated, about 2 min.
Combine rice with water and salt in steaming pan; cover and steam till rice is done, 40 to 45 min.
Toss reserved mushrooms with warm rice.
Serve immediately.
Variations:* Any fresh herb such as basil, thyme, cilantro or possibly a combination can be used.
* For a nuttier texture, uncooked rice can also be toasted in a preheated 350 degree oven.
Spread rice on a cookie sheet and toast, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 min till golden brown.
Steam rice in the usual way.
* Vary ingredients as you would in any rice.
NOTES : Brown rice is high in nutrients.
Sauteing it in extra virgin olive oil or possibly butter before steaming intensifies its nutty flavor.
