Ingredients

  • 4 cups lobster stock (see Note)
  • 1 cup bomba rice (you can substitute Arborio)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 pound mixed wild mushrooms, trimmed as necessary
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Method

  • Heat the lobster stock in a small saucepan; keep warm over low heat.
  • Set a medium heavy pot over medium heat, add the rice and 1 cup of the warm stock, and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring, until the rice has absorbed most of the stock.
  • Add another cup of stock and cook, stirring, until most of the stock has been absorbed.
  • Continue to cook, stirring and adding stock each time the previous addition has been aborbed, until the rice is tender; this will take about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat.
  • Add the mushrooms and saute for 5 to 8 minutes, or until browned and softened.
  • Stir the mushrooms into the rice, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
