Let's Get Started
- Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown.
- Add the cumin powder, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to coat the mushrooms and onions with the spices.
- Add the basmati rice to the skillet and stir to combine with the mushrooms and onions.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
