Mushroom rice with MEALUP Black Truffle
Jump to recipeThis mushroom rice with MEALUP Black Truffle is ready in 35 minutes and has about 31 g of protein per serving. The rice simmers slowly in broth until creamy, and MEALUP is stirred in at the very end.
It works as a dinner on its own or as a side for chicken or fish. The mushrooms release an aroma that grows with every ladle of broth.
MEALUP Black Truffle goes into the rice once it's done and off the heat. It melts into the creamy rice and adds truffle aroma and protein in one go.
