Wild Black Rice with Creamy Mushrooms

Course Side Dish
Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 5 portions

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of organic black wild rice
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 average size finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 of a bell pepper finely chopped
  • 5 oz of Shitake mushrooms
  • Fresh oregano leaves

Instructions

  1. Place a medium size saucepan on the stove over high heat. Add 1 cup of rice and 3 cups of water.

    Bring water to a boil and reduce the heat. Add salt to taste. 

    Simmer for 35 min over medium-low heat. While the rice is being cooked, place a medium size skillet on the stove over medium heat. 

    Put extra virgin oil on the skillet and add onions, bell pepper and mushrooms. Sauté them until onions have a slightly golden color and mushrooms are ready. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Turn off the heat.

    Put this mix of vegetables into a blender and blend them together using a pulse or grind mode to create an almost creamy consistency. 

    When the rice is ready, mix rice and a creamy mixture that we created. Sprinkle each serving size plate with oregano leaves.
