Best Italian Inspired Microwave Rice Recipes

ITALIAN INSPIRED MICROWAVE RICE

Italian Inspired Microwave Rice image

I threw this together last night to see what I could do with the bits and bobs I had floating around in my fridge. I am not claiming it is at all authentic Italian but the ingredients I had around pointed in that direction. I used jasmine rice because that is what I had around but any long grain should work. My microwave is a 700 watt variety to adjust as needed for your own microwave.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 cup jasmine rice
3/4 cup onion, diced
1 cup mushroom, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

Put all ingredients except the parmesan cheese into a microwave proof dish.
Cover and microwave for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and liquid absorbed. Be very careful when uncovering because the steam will be very hot. I learned this the hard way when making this dish and ended up with a very bad steam burn.
Stir in parmesan.
