Mushroom Parmesan Rice



This was a delicious and rich side dish to accompany our steak dinner recently. It cooks up creamy, and full of great flavor from the Parmesan. I tweaked the original recipe based on what I had available. The original recipe calls for a full 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan which is what we used in our recipe, but we found the flavor to be too strong (we were using fresh grated, aged Parmesan which has a pretty strong taste to it in, so a little goes a long way). So below, I suggest using 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese to stir in; you can always add more to your taste preferences! :)

I think this is a really nice side dish and it dresses up brown rice very nicely!
