Instructions:

Prepare Vegetable Broth:
- In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil.

Cook Rice:
- Once the broth is boiling, add 1 cup of medium grain rice to the saucepan.
- Bring the mixture back to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
- Cover the saucepan with a lid and allow the rice to simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed.
-
Let it Rest:
- After cooking, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Let the rice sit undisturbed with the lid on for an additional 10 minutes. This helps the rice to steam and become fluffy.

Prepare Vegetables:

- Chop 1 onion and 1 stalk of celery.
-
Saute Vegetables:
- In a separate skillet, heat 1 tbsp of butter and the remaining olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and celery to the skillet.
- Saute the vegetables until they become tender, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
-
Cook Mushrooms:
- Once the onion and celery are tender, add 1 cup of sliced fresh mushrooms to the skillet.
- Season with the remaining 1/4 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp of pepper.
- Cook the mushrooms for an additional 1-2 minutes until they are soft and slightly browned.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Remove the lid from the saucepan with the cooked rice.
- Gently stir in the sauteed vegetables, chopped fresh herbs, and the sprig of fresh rosemary.
- Ensure that all the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the rice.
