Zucchini and Mushroom Fried Rice

Start by cooking the rice. To do this, put a tablespoon of olive oil into a pan and heat. Then add a sliced clove of garlic. When the garlic starts to color, add the rice. Stir for a couple of minutes. Then add the water and a teaspoon of salt. Cook over high heat for 7 minutes, then reduce and simmer for 8 more minutes. If the rice has absorbed all the water in this time but is still hard, add a little more water. Let stand for a short while, covered with a lid.

Prepare the other ingredients while the rice is cooking. Wash and cut the mushrooms and zucchini into smallish pieces, and cut the onion into strips.

Heat 2–3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet. Add the onion and mushrooms and fry over medium heat for 4 minutes, stirring often. Add the zucchini and continue to cook for 7–8 more minutes. Season with a small sprinkling of salt.

Finish by adding 6–7 tablespoons of rice. Stir the ingredients, let cook for 1–2 more minutes, and then serve on a plate.
