Quick and Easy Mushroom Rice
Instant Pot Recipe
Make delicious vegan mushroom rice in your Instant Pot, when you want a satisfying hearty side dish that is easy to prepare.
Instant Pot pressure cookers really do a great job cooking rice, so that it has a nice texture and isn’t mushy.
In fact, if the only thing Instant Pots could cook was rice, I would still think this kitchen appliance is a must have for my kitchen.
The portobello mushrooms in this dish have a rich flavor, so each bite is satisfying.
You can substitute another type of mushroom, if you’d like.
But portobello mushrooms are readily available and they pair beautifully with the red cooking wine that is added as they cook.
If you happen to have some leftovers, this vegan rice still tastes great when reheated the next day.
Enjoy!
