• 1/2 tsp ground cloves
• 1/2 tsp ground mace
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp white pepper
• 2 onions, diced

• 2 bay leaves
• 2 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
• 2 portabella mushrooms, chopped
• 1/4 cup rice wine
• 2 tbsp tamari

• 1 cup converted white rice
• 4 cups vegetable stock

Instructions:

1. Prepare Seasoning Mix:

   • Combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, ground cumin, cayenne, ground cloves, ground mace, black pepper, and white pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.

2. Sauté Aromatics:

   • Heat oil in a heavy 4-quart pot over high heat until it begins to smoke.
   • Stir in onions, celery, bay leaves, ginger, mushroom, and 2 tablespoons of the seasoning mix.
   • Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture turns a dark metallic color and sticks to the bottom of the pot, about 6 to 8 minutes.

3. Deglaze Pot:

   • Add rice wine and tamari to the pot, scraping the bottom to loosen the browned bits.

4. Cook Rice:

   • Add raisins and rice to the pot, continuing to cook until all liquid is absorbed and rice starts to stick to the bottom, about 5 to 6 minutes.

5. Add Stock:

   • Stir in vegetable stock and the remaining seasoning mix.

6. Simmer:

   • Cover the pot and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until rice is tender, approximately 20 minutes.

7. Serve:

   • Remove from heat, fluff rice with a fork, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
