🛒 Ingredients

4 servings

4
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion

    Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent and lightly golden.

  3. 3

    Add the mushrooms and cook for 3–4 minutes until tender.

  4. 4

    Pour in the white wine and let it reduce almost completely.

💡 Chef's Tip

Freshly grated parmesan makes all the difference. Day-old rice works even better as it absorbs the cream sauce more evenly.
