Savory Rice and Mushroom Pudding

My friend Regina Charboneau at Twin Oaks in Natchez gave me this recipe for a savory rice pudding is a different twist on rice as a side dish. You can use white or brown rice and a variety of mushrooms. Regina recommends using a mix of 1 cup of white or brown rice for a creamier rice pudding. It’s a great side dish for meat or fish.
