This rice takes only minutes to prepare then steams to tenderness while you make the Prosciutto Pesto Pork and Roasted Cherry Tomatoes For Two. Store the leftover dried mushrooms in a resealable plastic bag for another use, such as risotto, spaghetti sauce or stew.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pkg (18 g pkg) dried mushrooms
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil
  • 1 small carrot, diced
  • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch dried thyme
  • 1/2 cup long-grain rice
  • 1/2 cup sodium-reduced chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

Soak mushrooms in 1/2 cup (125 mL) boiling water until softened, about 10 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon; coarsely chop. Strain water through coffee filter–lined sieve; set aside.

In saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; cook carrot, onion, garlic, salt, thyme and mushrooms, stirring often, until carrot is softened, about 4 minutes.

Add rice, stirring to coat. Add chicken stock and reserved mushroom water; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.

Stir in pine nuts and parsley.
