Ingredientes

  • 2 large onions, finely chopped

  • 400 g bomba rice

  • 150 g mascarpone cheese

  • 2 finely chopped garlic cloves

  • 1,2 liter chicken broth

  • Green mince

  • 50 ml cold water

  • 4 c.s. tablespoons basil

  • 1 small garlic clove

  • 50 ml oil

  • 2 c.s. tablespoons parsley

  • 50 g spinach leaves

  • salt to taste

Pasos

  • Sofrito
  • In a thick-bottomed pan, pour a little oil and heat it over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and cook carefully so that they do not take color. When the onions are tender and soft (approximately 15-20 minutes), add the chopped garlic and cook for a couple of minutes more. Season with salt to taste, to bring out the flavors of this delicious base.
  • Add the bomba rice to the pan with the sofrito, stirring so that the grains are impregnated with the flavors of the onion and garlic. The rice should be pearly, avoid coloring the rice during this process.
  • Then pour in the hot chicken broth a little at a time, covering the rice initially and adding more as needed. Maintain a steady boil while cooking the rice for 17 minutes.
  • Making the picada
  • While the rice is cooking, take time to prepare the refreshing green picada.
  • In the bowl of a blender, place the cold water, basil, garlic, oil, parsley and spinach leaves. Blend the mixture until a smooth and homogeneous consistency is obtained.
  • When the rice is cooked to perfection, add the freshly prepared green picada and mascarpone cheese to the casserole. Mix all ingredients well and cook for an additional minute to integrate the flavors.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and allow the creamy green rice to rest for 2 to 3 minutes. This step is essential for the flavors to meld and settle into the rice. Finally, serve this exquisite dish in bowls and share with family and friends. Bon appetit and enjoy this comforting creamy green rice!

Notas

  • If you wish, you can substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth for a vegetarian version of this dish.
  • If you want a plus, use arborio type rice. You will have to adjust the cooking time to the type of rice and the package directions.
  • If you grind the rice in a mortar it will be much creamier and the flavors of the basil, spinach and parsley will be much more enhanced.

Key points of the recipe

  1. Control of the sofrito: Cook the onions over medium heat without coloring them and add the garlic at the end to avoid burning. This step is crucial for developing the flavor base of the rice.
  2. Cooking the rice: Add the hot chicken broth gradually and maintain a steady boil. Stir the bomba rice with the sofrito until it is nutty, making sure it absorbs the flavors well before adding more broth.
  3. Integration of the picada and mascarpone: Once the rice is cooked, incorporate the green picada and mascarpone cheese, mixing gently to maintain creaminess. Let the rice rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle.

Pairing with wine

For this rice recipe that contains a mascarpone cheese and a green picada, a white wine with good acidity and citrus notes would be an excellent choice. A Sauvignon Blanc or an Albariño would be good choices. These wines have the freshness and acidity to balance the creaminess of the mascarpone cheese and complement the herbaceous notes of the green picada.

Beer pairing

To pair this recipe with a beer, I would opt for a wheat beer or a Saison style beer. Both options are light and refreshing, with a moderate acidity that complements well the herbaceous flavors of the green picada and the richness of the mascarpone cheese. The wheat beer will add fruity and spicy notes, while the Saison will have a drier and fruitier character.
