Great Side Dish

Sometimes you get tired of boring rice as a side dish. I like rice all by itself, but sometimes I just want a little something more.

I cooked the rice like I normally do. I added a little salt to the cooking water, and a little butter. Butter makes everything better.

The onion and mushroom sauté very nicely. The are soft and a lovely golden color.

Onion and mushroom are pretty simple. So you aren’t going crazy with the additions to the rice.

But they do add a lovely amount of flavor and some texture.

Using a mold to cook the rice in also adds something a little special.

Why have a pile of rice when you can have a molded shape of rice!

I have a mini bundt pan that I used. So each serving was a little bundt shaped mound of rice.

It wasn’t all that complicated of a recipe. It tastes lovely and has great presentation.
