preparation

Rice with wild mushrooms

1. Remove the stems from the shiitake mushrooms. Carefully clean the tops, then cut into thick slices.

3. Remove the mushrooms from the pan.

4. Add the rice, onions and vegetable stock to the pan.

5. Simmer over a low heat under a tight-fitting lid for approx. 12 min.

6. Remove the pan from the heat and let the rice and onions rest without removing the lid for approx. 12 min.

8. Brown the steak for about 1 min. on each side and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Continue cooking over a low heat for about 10 min. – turning occasionally.
