Wild Mushrooms Rice Recipe

Method

1. 1

   Prepare aromatics and mushrooms

   Wipe mushrooms clean and slice. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.

2. 2

   Heat fats and soften onion

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until shimmering. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 4-5 minutes.

3. 3

   Add garlic

   Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

4. 4

   Sauté mushrooms

   Increase heat to medium-high. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 6-8 minutes.

5. 5

   Toast the rice

   Stir in the rice and cook for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast and coat with the oil.

6. 6

   Season and add stock

   Stir in dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour in the vegetable stock; bring to a gentle boil.

7. 7

   Simmer until tender

   Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed, about 18-20 minutes.

8. 8

   Finish and serve

   Remove from heat. Stir in parsley. If using, sprinkle Parmesan and a knob of butter for extra richness. Taste and adjust salt and pepper, then serve.
