Neatly sliced mushrooms courtesy of the teenager. I am experimenting with making old favorites without the onions or garlic. Trying to make my new allium-free lifestyle a little less pathetic.

(As bland as my food is, it is so delightful to not be in constant pain and not associate eating with misery.)

The finished dish. It's tasty, but it lacks punch. I think that if I'm going to omit the two white onions, I'm going to need to double the mushrooms. And maybe also triple the fresh herbs. (Plus add herbs to the cooking rice if I'm using water rather than broth.)

@SoNotNic I haven’t read your full restrictions, so I don’t know if they are forbidden, but I’m thinking some sliced pimiento-stuffed green olives. Or capers. They’d also add a pop of color. I eat low carb most of the time tho, so rice in any guise looks delicious!

@consolidatedfuzz

I had to check but it doesn't look like capers or pimentos are related to alliums. I don't have any on hand (as all of my old recipes using capers or pimentos also call for onions and garlic) but I will pick some up to try next time. I think the capers in particular would work well with this dish.
