Steps

  • Mix eggs, cream, and coriander in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  • Fry one quarter of the egg mixture in oil until set, fold, and keep warm.
  • Repeat the process to create three additional omelettes.
  • Mix all marinade ingredients except mushrooms and oil in a separate bowl.
  • Fry mushrooms in oil for 2-3 minutes until they are golden-brown.
  • Toss the fried mushrooms into the marinade and set aside.
  • Blend chilli paste ingredients in a food processor to form a rough paste.
  • Heat oil in a pan and fry the sliced onion until softened.
  • Stir in the chilli paste and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add rice and bay leaves and fry for 3-4 minutes.
  • Cover with vegetable stock and simmer for 15-20 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
  • Cool rice on a tray, drizzle with rose water and lemon juice, and sprinkle with mint.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C.
  • Layer rice and marinated mushrooms into greased 10cm rings on a baking tray.
