Solo Sweet and Tart Mushroom Rice image

The flavor of the mushrooms, which offer a safe and natural alternative to MSG, is balanced by the sweetness of sauted onions and then by the fresh flavors of garlic and lemon which are added at the last moment. This rice dish for one, can be easly expanded, and I like to serve it with Pickle Dilly Green Beans recipe#16256, and lightly flavored red or white meat.
