Ingredients
1 tbsp vegetable oil
500 g lean ground pork, chicken or turkey
1 large garlic clove, minced
284-mL can chicken broth, and 1 can water, or 2 1/2 cups broth or bouillon
3 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp fish sauce, optional
2 tsp chili-garlic sauce
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 sweet bell peppers
2 cups sliced shiitake mushrooms, about 125 g
1 cup short-grain rice, such as arborio
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh coriander
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Heat oil in a large saucepan set over medium-high heat. Crumble in pork and stir occasionally until browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute. Skim off any fat.
Stir in broth, soy sauce, lime juice, fish sauce, chili-garlic sauce and cayenne. Bring to a boil. Meanwhile, seed and slice peppers into julienne strips. Thinly slice mushrooms. Add peppers, mushrooms and rice to boiling broth. Bring to a boil again, then remove from heat and cover. (If you don't have an ovenproof saucepan, turn into a casserole dish.)
Bake in centre of 400F (200C) oven until rice is tender, from 35 to 40 minutes. Then stir in onions and coriander.
