Dirty Rice With Mushrooms Recipe (2024)

Make Your Own Cajun Seasoning -https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/cajun-seasoning/

I think that instead of using homemade broth, you can Use the dried porcini’s to make the broth and add some mushrooms, to give it some body. Alternative add some white miso for some more umami flavor. I think I will make this with chickpeas as I don’t like black eyed peas.

Baby bella is just a different name for creminis. They're the same beast.

This was delicious! I used brown rice instead of white: boiled for 5 minutes and then put the lid on and cooked at a high simmer for 35 minutes. It came out great. I didn’t add nearly as much salt as the recipe calls for. The recipe has you season the vegetables with salt not once but twice - then add Cajun seasoning (which contains salt) - then add broth (salt) - then add a teaspoon of… salt! I didn’t add any salt other than what was in the seasoning and broth, and it was not lacking.

It is a stock using usually using a combo of fresh and dried mushrooms (mostly porcinis), aromatics, water, and/or other flavorings such as soy or aminos. However, Better than Bouillion has a mushroom base that can easily be used in recipes calling for mushroom broth or stock.

Better Than Boullion has a mushroom broth mix that is very good

I save stems (in freezer) until I have enough to make mushroom broth

I've commented in the past about having the replies to a post printed under the original post instead of stand alones. I often couldn't figure out which original post the "replier" was replying to! However, I now see that the NYT has fixed that and I am delighted to see the responses that folks are making right under the "original" post. Thanks so much. Now - I'll be making this tonight as written except with brown rice. Sounds yummy and glad to have another vegetarian recipe.

This was tasty but is more like 6- 8 servings, not 4. With all the rice and the peas, next time I would double the holy trinity and double the Cajun seasoning. A very satisfying vegetarian meal and loved that it was a 1-pot meal! I also just used the liquid from rehydrating dried mushrooms to make a quick simple broth and simmered 30 minutes with an onion, bay leaf, thyme and soy sauce before straining and adding to the pan.

Every year around Mardi Gras, I search for a dirty rice recipe that would live up to my expectations born of reading James Lee Burke novels. Being vegetarians, authenticity is off the table. But boy, in all other respects, does this recipe exceed all previous attempts, hands down! Used my own homemade Cajun seasoning, Better Than Bouillon Mushroom Base, browned Impossible Sausage and threw that in. Skipped the black-eyed peas; didn't want to mess with perfection..

I really liked this recipe although it made more than my family of three can consume. I used Blackened Seasoning instead of Cajun, and next time I'll reduce the amount of black pepper to half to account for this substitution. I also used low sodium chicken broth which was fine. Lastly, I stirred the black-eyed peas into the rice for the last 3 minutes to make sure they warmed completely.

Just keep cooking in step 3 until the rice is tender.

Use brown rice.

Cajun seasoning: equal parts of paprika (some people prefer using smoked paprika), kosher salt, garlic powder, ground black pepper, ground white pepper, onion powder, dried oregano, cayenne, thyme.May use chickpeas instead of blackeyed peas.

This is a really good recipe. It's currently Orthodox Lent and we can't have meat and I miss it. This is good substitute. I did double the trinity and had to cook the rice about 25 minutes for it to full cook. It makes a massive amount of food. I think it's enough for 8 people as a main and 12 as a side dish.

I’m going to catch flack for this but this was delicious. I kept the rice amount the same. Then doubled the mushrooms, beans, onion, celery, green pepper, and seasoning.Used only 3-4 tbsp of oil.Could even triple the mushrooms and it’d still rock.Love this as a base and will make this many more times.

I’ve made this several times and never managed to get the rice cooked through on the stove, so I stuck everything in the rice cooker after sautéing and it worked like a dream (1.5 cups of rice instead of 2, then to the 3 line with broth, but the rice is squishy enough that I might have been able to get away with the full 2 cups of rice)

Delighted I found this recipe!!! So very very delicious. I added finely chopped walnuts for protein along with the mushrooms, and used my own veggie stock, some miso and organic porcini mushroom powder. Better than the original dirty rice!

So delicious and easy. I made burritos, adding TJs soyrizo and kidney beans, the next day. This is my new go to rice recipe.

I followed someone's suggestion of doubling the veggies, and it was SO GOOD. One of my favorite homemade cajun dishes I've ever made.

I made this for my neighbor’s meal train. He and his wife are vegetarian and I wanted to prepare something hearty but different than a typical Mexican flavor profile. I halved the recipe but used more mushrooms, garlic, and celery than it called for. I also topped it with black beans. For the spices, I relied on the note from one cook for making a blend with paprika. This was really well received. Will make again for my own family.

yummy! improved with a hit of lemon juice.

Agreed with others saying it was a little overkill with the serving recommendations. I easily got around 6 portions. Be mindful of the salt but what a delicious meal! I used a mixture of mushrooms and if anyone is looking for more ways to include a deeper mushroom flavour, look for dehydrated mushroom 'seasoning' packets you can buy from Korean markets. Quick added depth!

This is a delicious recipe. I made mine with 2 cups brown rice increasing the broth (vegetable) to 4 cups. It took 35 minutes for the rice to cook. I made the Cajun seasoning mix from Vin2 listed in the comments. Black beans were substituted because that was what I had on hand. I think shrimp would be a great addition. I'll be making this recipe again, trying it with homemade mushroom broth and black-eyed peas.

Brown the mushrooms first and remove from the pan when you double the trinity and sauté. Loved the miso idea whoever thought of that

I used wilde rice, portobello mushrooms, celeries, fava beans, and sriracha sauce. These are what I have. It turned out to be a great Asian fusion rice dish!

Way too much food

Cut the rice in half and the ratio of beans:mushrooms:veggies:rice was perfect

Didn't have bell pepper so used carrots; used shiitake because that's what I had on hand and not quite 8 ounces; used red beans instead of peas and it was still quite possibly the best rice I've ever made. But it makes a ton.
