Brown Rice With Herbed Mushrooms

Mushrooms are a rich source of Selenium and are high in natural antioxidants. When combined with brown rice they make a wholesome dish full of fiber and nutrients. Not many like the taste of plain mushrooms so its a great idea to combine them with herbs to bring out the earthy flavor of mushrooms. Here's how to do it !

Ingredients
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1 tbsp minced garlic
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green peppers
1 tbsp parsley,thyme and rosemary
1/2 cup dessert wine(optional)
2 tbsp hot peppers and cheese mix(look for my recipe index for this recipe)
Salt,pepper to taste
Preparation
Add 1 tbsp olive oil in a saucepan and sautee the onions and garlic until golden brown. Add the herbs,salt and pepper and toss for a while until the herbs start giving out the aroma. Now add the mushrooms and close the saucepan with a lid.Let the mushrooms absorb the flavors from the herbs and cook well. Now add the cooked brown rice and a good choice of dessert wine(optional) and cook for few minutes until the rice incorporates well with the other ingredients.Finally add the hot peppers and cheese mix according to your taste and how spicy you would like your dish to be. The flavored brown rice is ready to be served !
