Wild Mushroom Rice

Wild Mushroom Rice

D. Rattray
Wild mushrooms are soaked and chopped for this tasty recipe. The soaking liquid, along with chicken broth, adds flavor to this dish.

Ingredients:

  • 1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
  • 1 ounce dried shiitake mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley
  • 1 medium tomato, seeded, diced
  • 1 cup long-grain rice, uncooked
  • chicken broth
  • liquid from soaking mushrooms

Preparation:

In a bowl, cover mushrooms with boiling water; set aside.

In a medium saucepan, melt butter with olive oil over medium-low heat; add onions and celery. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are tender. Add minced garlic, parsley, and tomato. Stir in rice.

Meanwhile, strain mushroom liquid into a 2-cup measure. Rinse the mushrooms and chop. Add enough chicken broth to the cup of mushroom soaking liquid to make 2 cups; add to the rice mixture along with the mushrooms. Cover and cook over low heat, adding more chicken broth if needed. Converted rice might take a little more broth.
Serves 4 to 6.
