Spanish Rice with Alubias and Mushrooms

In addition to paella, Spain offers a wide variety of rice dishes with classic ingredients that vary by region. In this version, we’ve created a delicious Spanish Rice with White Beans and Mushrooms, inspired by Valencian tradition. Prepared in a paella pan, it combines fluffy and enriched GOYA® Valencia Rice with the tasty flavor of GOYA® Cannellini, mushrooms, and spices, creating a delicious and aromatic dish. To serve, garnish with red peppers, rosemary, Manchego cheese (optional), and lemon wedges. A dish that can be enjoyed on special occasions or any day of the week, especially on cold autumn and winter days.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Heat 2 tbsp. oil in large 13-inch paella pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until golden-brown and tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
2. 2Heat remaining oil in paella pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in rice, paprika and rosemary. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until rice is coated.
3. 3Stir in wine and bring to a boil; cook, stirring frequently, until wine has evaporated, about 1 minute. Add bouillon mixture; bring back to a boil. Stir in beans. Spread rice mixture in an even layer and top with mushrooms. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, undisturbed, until most of the liquid has been absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
4. 4Remove from heat. Let rice rest for 5 minutes. Arrange pimiento strips over rice; top with rosemary sprigs and Manchego. Serve with lemon wedges and enjoy.
