Ingredients
Metric quantities · weights after peeling and trimming unless stated
- 500 g mushrooms, thickly sliced
- 150 g onions, diced
- 6 g garlic, chopped
- 320 g carolino rice
- 250 g frozen peas
- 1000 ml low-salt vegetable stock, prepared, hot
- 30 ml olive oil
- 40 g vegetarian hard cheese, finely grated
- 10 g parsley, chopped
- 2 g salt
Method
Brown the mushrooms
Wide heavy sauté pan
Heat half the oil over high heat. Brown mushrooms in two batches for 5 minutes each, letting moisture evaporate. Reserve on a plate.
Start the rice
Same pan
Add remaining oil and onion; cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add garlic and rice and stir for 1 minute.
Simmer
Same pan
Add 800 ml of the hot stock. Simmer gently, stirring frequently, for 12 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and peas; cook for a further 5–8 minutes until rice is tender, adding the remaining stock as needed. Rice should be loose and spoonable.
Finish
Same pan, heat off
Fold in cheese and parsley, taste before adding salt, and rest for 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
Kitchen notes
Contains milk. Use vegetarian-labelled cheese. Best freshly cooked; if saving rice, cool quickly, refrigerate within 1 hour, use within 24 hours and reheat once until steaming throughout. See the lunch guide for handling details.
