I realize this might sound weird - fried rice with Italian meats and pesto, but it’s delicious - just straight damn delicious .
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 small yellow onion, diced
5 ounces shiitake mushrooms, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 ounces chopped spicy calabrese
2 ounces chopped prosciuto
16 ounces cooked rice, cooled and pref from the day before - or,
2 - 8 ounces packages of that microwave Asian style white rice - but don’t microwave
1/3 cup basil pesto, or more if you like recipe here
Shredded Parmesan for garnishing
Heat a wok or large skillet, add the oil, onion and mushrooms - cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes
Add the garlic and stir through when fragrant
Toss in the meats, rice and now start stirring everything really well, until heat through and fully mixed
Add the pesto, again tossing and mixing super well to incorporate it into everything
Season to taste with salt & pepper - mix again then plate
Garnish with a little parm on top
I forgot something…again
