Famous Recipes - Rice with mushrooms, bananas and raisins

Rice with mushrooms, bananas and raisins

2 cups of rice, parboiled
4 ¼ cups of water with 2 chicken stock cubes
2 bananas, sliced into thick pieces
½ cup of raisins
250 g of mushrooms

Boil the rice, covered, on very low heat for 20 minutes exactly from the time the water comes to the boil. Melt some butter in a pan and sauté the mushrooms that have been wiped clean with a damp dishcloth (never wash mushrooms under running water: they absorb it like sponges). Make sure all the juices have cooked off. Add a little lemon juice.

In a deep Pyrex dish, combine the rice with the raisins and the mushrooms, pour over a little melted butter or olive oil (4 tablespoons), cover with aluminium foil and bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°C for 10 minutes.

Fluff up the rice with a fork, add the bananas, combine lightly, cover and return to the oven for 5 minutes. Serve.
