LEMONY MUSHROOM & HERB RICE



Lemony mushroom & herb rice image

Perk up your rice with Sara Buenfeld's tasty recipe that's brimming with Mediterranean flavours

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Side dish

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

a mugful of American long grain rice
250g pack chestnut mushrooms
2 tbsp olive oil
2 large garlic cloves , finely chopped
5 tbsp chopped parsley
3 tbsp snipped chives
finely grated zest 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Fill a roomy saucepan with water, bring to the boil and tip in a heaped teaspoon of salt - the water will bubble furiously. Pour in the rice, stir once and return to the boil, then turn the heat down a little so that the water is boiling steadily, but not vigorously.
  • Boil uncovered, without stirring (this makes for sticky rice) for 10 minutes. Lift some out with a slotted spoon and nibble a grain or two. If they're too crunchy, cook for another minute and taste again. They should be tender but with a little bite. Drain the rice into a large sieve and rinse by pouring over a kettle of very hot water.
  • Meanwhile, chop the chestnut mushrooms into smallish chunks and fry in olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat for 4 minutes until golden. Stir in garlic and fry for 1 minute.
  • Drain and rinse the rice and toss it into the mushrooms with the parsley, chives and lemon zest. Try a little and add salt if necessary. The zingy, fresh flavours go really well with grilled fish.
