Being a Mum I’m always on the lookout for no fuss, one pot midweek meals. You can never have enough in your armoury! After falling in love with this one pot lentil dahl, mushroom rice was a perfect and welcomed change. It’s easy to make, creates minimal pot washing and tastes blinkin’ delicious! Do you need any more excuses to try it for yourself? Thought not!

That being said, if you’re after something a little more impressive – I highly recommend this incredible wild mushroom risotto recipe!

Divide between serving bowls and scatter with a little chopped parsley if you like.

This One Pot Mushroom Rice has got some serious flavour! I shared it with my parents and all of us were making yummy noises whilst eating it. My daughter even ate 2 bowls!! Definitely a big hit.

Now I’m aware that it may look a little ‘sloppy’ in my photos. That’s what happens when your toddler wakes up earlier from her nap than expected. Then starts emptying all your kitchen cupboards and pulling at your legs whilst you’re trying to cook. It’s a little distracting!
