Making Parasol Mushroom rice

The parasol mushroom, scientifically known as Macrolepiota procera, is a fascinating fungus that typically grows in late summer to autumn months across temperate regions worldwide. It favors habitats such as grasslands, meadows, and woodland edges, often appearing in open spaces with rich soil. Recognized by its tall, slender stem and large, umbrella-like cap, the parasol mushroom is sought after by foragers and culinary enthusiasts for its mild flavor and versatile culinary uses

Useful guidelines

Feeding your Starter

Our Starter is fed 100% Wholemeal Flour, this is to give the bread more flavour as the flour contains the wholegrain. You can use white flour or any other grain you prefer. The best flour for starting end feeding would be rye due to its high nutrient content and levels of naturally present lactobacilli.

 

Directions

Simply follow these steps in order to make this parasol mushroom and chard rice dish

Sauté Onions and Mushrooms:

Heat a tablespoon of butter and a 5 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat.

Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the chopped  dried mushrooms  to the skillet along with a pinch of salt and cracked black pepper. Sauté for another 5-6 minutes

Prepare Rice:

In a separate pot, rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

In the same skillet used for sautéing mushrooms and onions, add another tablespoon of butter and olive oil.

Add the drained rice to the skillet and toast it lightly for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cooking Rice:

Pour the water into the skillet with the rice.

Season with salt, 2 sprigs of rosemary, and 2 sprigs of savory. Stir well to combine.

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the rice simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked through.

Add Chard and Finish:

Once the rice is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat.

On a high heat, in another skillet, sauté the chopped chard stalks.

Sprinkle the chard and some fresh chives on top of the rice before serving.
