Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent.

  2. 2

    Make the Tomato Stew Base

    Stir in the tomato puree and Akadi spice blend. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    Add the rinsed basmati rice to the pot. Stir well, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Cardoncello Mushrooms

    In a separate pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced cardoncello mushrooms and sauté until golden brown, about 7-10 minutes. Drizzle with ginger soy sauce and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Fluff the rice with a fork and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve the fragrant rice topped with sautéed cardoncello mushrooms.
