Mushroom Rice is an easy, grain-free side dish that will elevate your weekly dinners.

Pair this grain-free Mushroom Rice with any meal as a filling, nutrient-dense side dish. With most of the ingredients being pantry staples, this recipe will become your go-to side.

We used baby bella (AKA cremini) mushrooms for this recipe, but we also recommend using button, oyster, or portabella mushrooms. You can really use whatever mushrooms you have on hand, as long as they are diced up finely for this recipe.

Mushrooms offer great health benefits when consumed regularly. They support digestive health and can function as a prebiotic, promoting beneficial gut microbes and even helping to inhibit the growth of pathogens.¹ So you can skip sugary kombucha and add more mushrooms to your diet to create a healthy gut microbiome. Make a batch of Mushroom Rice on a Sunday and add it to your meals throughout the week to easily up your mushroom intake.

This Mushroom Rice recipe features another key ingredient: heart of palm. This vegetable grows at the core of young palm trees and has a soft, tender texture, making it a popular alternative to grain-based sides like pasta and rice. Beyond its versatility, heart of palm is packed with nutrients, including potassium, carotene, folate, and vitamin A.²

TIP: Leave the Mushroom Rice in the pan for 5 minutes longer to make it crispier.
