- Soak dry mushrooms in 2 c. warm water for 30 min. Drain and strain out sand, reserving liquid and mushrooms separately.
- Put rice, saffron or possibly saffron flowers, mushroom liquor, and water in rice cooker and set to cook and keep.
- Dry-roast all other spices and herbs. Add in sauteing liquid with onion and celery and saute/fry for a few min. Add in carrots. Add in mushrooms and green pepper, each time sauteing for several min (add in more liquid if necessary). Add in tomatoes and beans.
- Simmer 10 min, uncovered, allowing some of the liquid to evaporate.
- Serve over or possibly mixed with rice.
- NOTES :
- I used 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil to saute/fry in, and no additional liquid.
- For mushroom broth, I had previously soaked mushrooms for another recipe and not used them. I had also roasted some garlic. I added the skins from the roasted garlic to the saved mushroom broth and simmered them together, making a delicious and very aromatic vegetable broth. This is what I used to cook the rice in.
- I'm sure any kind of dry mushrooms will do. I just used what I happened to have on hand. Likewise for the beans; I had originally thought of using black beans, but didn't happen to have any.
- It sounds like a lot of ingredients, but it didn't take long to make.
- Dry-roasting the spices is a critical step, as it brings out their flavor.
