Rice is Nice

Heavy pot with lid.

About 15 garlic scapes, washed and chopped to 1" lengths
1/4 cup dried chopped mushrooms, presoaked by covering them with water and giving them 1 minute in the microwave (covering them with boiling water would work too)
1 C golden basmati rice
pinch salt
2 C water
1 T Sunny Paris seasoning or other bouquet garni.
2 T olive oil.

Sautee garlic scapes in olive oil until dark green and just beginning to brown.

Add mushrooms, mix in, sautee together for 3-5 minutes.

Add rice, water, salt, and bouquet garni. Cover, bring to boil, turn off electric burner or reduce gas to minimum.

Let stand 15 minutes, fluff, serve.
