Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, mushrooms, and apple. Saute until soft, about 5-6 minutes.
Add the rice, veggie broth or water, salt, pepper, and herbs. Reduce heat to low and allow the rice to simmer covered until soft, about 25-30 minutes. The amount of liquid needed and cooking time will vary if you use different rice.
Garnish with additional herbs, optional.
Notes
Substitute any of the fresh herbs for 1 teaspoon of the dried herb.
