Description

This creamy rice with pork and mushrooms is a comforting and flavorful dish, perfect for cooler days. The combination of pork, mushrooms, and sautéed vegetables creates a delicious base for the bomba rice, which absorbs all the flavors of the homemade broth. I usually use pork sausages, bacon, and ribs to give it a more intense touch. The sprig of fresh rosemary gives it a special aroma. It is an ideal dish to share with family or friends, and can be accompanied with a good red wine. The preparation of the broth takes time, but the final result is worth it. A dish that always triumphs at home!

About this recipe

The creamy rice with pork and mushrooms is a dish that reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. She, with her infinite patience, prepared brothy and creamy rice dishes that comforted the soul, especially on cold winter days. Although she did not use Thermomix®, the essence of this dish remains: a tasty stew that embraces the rice and turns it into a unique culinary experience. The key to this rice lies in the quality of its ingredients. Bomba rice, with its ability to absorb the broth without falling apart, is essential to achieve that characteristic creamy texture. The pork, in its variety (sausages, bacon, rib), provides an intense and fatty flavor that is balanced with the freshness of the vegetables. The mushrooms, with their fleshy texture and earthy flavor, perfectly complement the pork. The sauté of onion, tomato, carrot, garlic and red pepper is the aromatic base of the dish, a concentrate of flavors that is intensified with fresh rosemary. Although the Thermomix® is not used for the final cooking of the rice, it is a valuable tool to prepare the sauté and chop the vegetables quickly and efficiently. It is important not to over-process the vegetables, as we want them to retain their texture and flavor. The sauté should be cooked over low heat, allowing the flavors to mix and develop. The preparation of the homemade broth is a crucial step, since this will be the liquid that will give flavor to the rice. A good broth, made with ham bones, celery, onion, garlic, bay leaf and black pepper, will make the difference. For a vegetarian or vegan version, pork can be substituted with smoked tofu or seitan, and a homemade vegetable broth can be used. Other mushrooms, such as boletus or shiitake, can be added to intensify the flavor. Other vegetables, such as green asparagus or artichokes, can also be incorporated. As for the spices, sweet or spicy paprika, saffron or even a little white wine can be added to give it a more sophisticated touch. This creamy rice with pork and mushrooms is traditionally served hot, directly from the pan. It can be accompanied with a good red wine, a crusty bread and a fresh salad. It can also be served with some seasoned olives or roasted piquillo peppers. If there is leftover rice, it can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for a maximum of two days. To reheat it, a little broth can be added so that it recovers its creamy texture. It can also be frozen, although the texture of the rice may change slightly. To prepare this dish in advance, the broth and the sauté can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. The next day, you just have to toast the rice and add the broth to finish cooking.
