Step by Step guide

Step 1

Soak the mushrooms in warm water for a while until soft. Then drain (reserving the water), squeeze out excess water, and cut into thin strips.

Step 2

In olive oil over medium heat, sauté the finely chopped onion until soft, without browning. Pour in the wine, increase the heat, and let the alcohol evaporate for a minute. Add the reserved mushroom water and broth. Then add the wild rice, tarragon, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce to a very low heat, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Then add the white rice, mushrooms, and peanuts. Adjust salt if necessary. Bring to a boil again, reduce to low heat, cover, and cook for another 20 minutes, until all the liquid has evaporated.
