If my Mom was hosting a party where anyone vegan (my brother) or vegetarian (my niece) was in attendance, her Mushroom Rice Pilaf would be on the menu with some type of faux meat to grill. For us meat eaters, she served the rice with a grilled London broil or some type of flank steak situation. There were almost always some sauteed green beans alongside the mix in addition to her green salad to make it a well-rounded meal.
She always made the mushroom part ahead of time and left it covered on the stove while she ran around and did everything else. Making it in my childhood kitchen this week brought me right back to my childhood.
The wild rice makes it nutty! The teriyaki flavors the rice and the mushrooms. It’s hearty enough to have as a main dish if you feel so inclined. Now my niece & brother have this recipe to make my Mom’s magic in the kitchen! YAY.
