Cook the rice as you normally would. Or in rice cooker until done.
2 Cups Basmati Rice
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3 Tbsp Olive Oil
Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened, slightly darker, and reduced in size.
3 Cups Mushrooms
Add the frozen peas and sliced ramps. Cook until the peas are heated through and the ramps have wilted into the mushroom mixture.
1 Cup Frozen Peas, ½ Cup Ramps
Stir in the dried tarragon, black pepper, and salt to taste.
1 Tsp Tarragon, ½ Tsp Black Pepper, Salt
Fold the cooked basmati rice into the skillet mixture until evenly combined.
Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until melted and evenly coating the rice.

Notes
- Increase the ramps if you prefer a stronger garlic-onion flavor.
- Leftover rice works well for this recipe.
- Brown rice, wild rice, or jasmine rice can also be used.
- Mushroom rice pilaf may dry slightly after refrigeration, so add a little butter or water while reheating.
