How to Make Barbara's Rice
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Sauté, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes until mushrooms are softened.
- Add 1 ½ cups of long-grain white rice and ½ cup of chopped green onions to the skillet. Continue to sauté and stir for another 5 minutes, until the rice is lightly toasted.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option), 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper.
- Pour the liquid mixture over the rice mixture in the skillet. Stir to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover with foil.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F (232°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed. Remove foil during the last 10 minutes to allow the top to brown slightly.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
