    Update: I made the first part tonight and it was delicious!

    1 medium onion (diced)

    5 fresh mushrooms (sliced)

    ~2 cloves garlic (I use a spoonful of homemade garlic & olive oil puree I keep in the fridge)

    3/4 cup white rice ( I had Vermicelli so I used 1/4 cup vermicelli and 1/2 cup rice)

    1 1/2 cup water or broth (highly recommend broth for more flavor)

    oil for sauteing

    Saute the diced onion in a skillet (need a lidded one for later) until starting to get brown

    Add sliced mushrooms and a 3 finger pinch of salt. Saute until they stop releasing steam when you stir.

    Add the garlic and saute until fragrant.

    Bunch all that to the side of the pan and add the rice (I had to add another splash of oil at this point for the rice and vermicelli...man, vermicelli browns FAST, be careful) saute until opaque or until golden as you like it

    Add liquid and bring to boil

    Turn heat down to low and let simmer (took 30 minutes for me YMMV)

    I topped it with some limp green onions that were dying in the fridge but were still good enough

    My SO and I were still hungry after splitting this between us, but it should be enough for one :D
