Mushroom Pilaf with Pine Nuts and Dried Cherries

Rice

Savory mushrooms and sweet cherries combine in this simple rice pilaf. It’s a perfect side for summer or fall mains.

Ingredients

3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 cup long grain white rice
1 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable stock
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup dried cherries
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
fresh basil, for garnish

Description

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat in a large oven-safe skillet. Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 8 minutes. Add remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and the rice; cook, stirring occasionally, until rice is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in stock, pine nuts, cherries, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Bake, covered, in the preheated oven until liquid is absorbed, about 17 minutes. Let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Sprinkle with fresh basil.
