Mushroom Pea Skillet Rice
Mushrooms and peas make plain rice into a pan of dinner rather than a separate side. The mushrooms need time to release and lose their moisture before the rice cooks, so resist rushing that first stage. This dish is useful for a night when you want a warm meal with a short ingredient list and little to serve alongside it.

FDA handling and storage conditions
Ingredient substitution
Do not substitute brown rice using the 330 mL water and stated timing. Brown rice needs a different absorption schedule; use the white rice specified or cook a separately adapted dish.
