This recipe is lovely. Easy to make and even my husband, who claims to dislike any low-fat recipe — especially one made with mushrooms — gobbled it down. The only hard part is keeping the serving to half a cup! I paired it with grilled salmon and steamed asparagus, which was perfect. This will become one of our regular side dishes.
This is delicious! I served it with Grilled Flank Steak with Onions. I sauteed the mushrooms in 1 tsp. of light margarine before I added them into the rice. Just thought it sounded weird adding them in raw. This will definately become a regular in my kitchen!
This is the best! I have made more than once now and like it every time! Was very simple to make!
