Ingredients

  • ½ cup black rice
  • ½ cup arborio rice
  • ½ cup chopped red onions
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 4 cups vegetable stock
  • 1 4 oz . Can sliced mushrooms with liquid
  • ½ cup white wine
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese couple tablespoons reserved for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chives or green onions thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Chop onions and mince the garlic, set aside. Place a medium sauce pan on the store on medium heat. Pour the vegetable stock & canned mushrooms into the pot, bring to a simmer.
  • Next place a large frypan over medium heat. Add the butter & olive oil. When hot & bubbly add the onions, season with salt & pepper and saute for about four minutes then add the garlic - saute for another minute. Add both the black rice & white rice. Stir well to combine and coat each grain of rice with the butter & oil, next add the wine. Stir the rice well and cook until most of the liquid is evaporated, then begin ladling in the vegetable broth into the skillet - 2 ladles at a time.
  • Cook and stir the rice and only add liquid when most of the liquid has been absorbed and the pan is nearly dry.
  • It will take about 6-7 minutes between each addition and you'll need to continue to stir it while the rice is sautéing. Taste test the rice after about 15 minutes into the cooking process and a couple of times thereafter. You'll want the rice to be tender, but have a bite. It will take about 25-28 minutes to complete cooking.
  • When the rice is tender, remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese and cream, mix well to combine. Garnish with reserved Parmesan cheese and chives and serve!
