Ingredients

• Basmati rice - 150 grams
• Cèpes (porcini mushrooms) - 100 grams, fresh or dried
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Carrot - 1 medium, diced
• Vegetable broth - 400 ml
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. If using dried cèpes, soak them in warm water for 20 minutes, then drain and chop. If using fresh cèpes, clean and slice them.
2. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic, diced carrot, and sliced cèpes to the saucepan. Sauté for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
4. Stir in the cumin, cinnamon, paprika, salt, and black pepper, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
5. Add the basmati rice to the saucepan, stirring well to coat the rice with the spices and vegetables.
6. Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
7. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
