Rice with wild mushrooms

3. Remove the mushrooms from the pan.

4. Add the rice, onions and vegetable stock to the pan.

5. Simmer over a low heat under a tight-fitting lid for approx. 12 min.

6. Remove the pan from the heat and let the rice and onions rest without removing the lid for approx. 12 min.
