Wine Rice

Wine Rice recipe image
This savory Wine Rice dish transforms simple grains into a comforting meal with deep, earthy flavors. Aromatic onions and sliced mushrooms are softened before being deglazed with dry red wine, creating a rich base for the rice. Fresh chopped tomatoes add a bright acidity that balances the richness of the margarine or olive oil. The rice simmers gently until tender, absorbing all the savory juices. It is a versatile dish suitable for a hearty vegetarian main or a flavorful side. The texture is fluffy yet moist, perfect for those who enjoy robust, home-cooked flavors without the complexity of traditional risotto techniques.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup Raw rice
  • 1 cup Fresh chopped tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup Chopped onion
  • 1 pound Sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup Dry red wine
  • 1/2 cup Reduced calorie margarine
Directions
  1. 1
    Rinse the raw rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain well.
  2. 2
    In a large saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with vegetable broth (use 1/2 cup less than the package directions for 1 cup of rice).
  3. 3
    Add the chopped onions, sliced mushrooms, fresh chopped tomatoes, and dry red wine to the saucepan.
  4. 4
    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. 5
    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan tightly, and simmer for 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  6. 6
    Remove from heat and stir in the margarine (or olive oil) until melted and evenly distributed.
  7. 7
    If using cooked peas, fold them gently into the rice.
  8. 8
    If using grated parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the top and mix gently to combine.
