- 2 green onions, diced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, diced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional to use smoked paprika)
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 Tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 cup chicken stock
- ⅓ cup white wine
- 4 cups cooked brown rice
- 6 green olives, chopped
- 16 raw oysters
- 3 Tablespoons of liquid (chicken broth, oyster liquid, or water)
Directions
- In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, add oil, bell pepper, celery, green onions, mushrooms, salt, paprika, cayenne, thyme, and oregano. Toss and cook until tender.
- Add tomato paste. Stir to cook for about 1 minute.
- Add stock, white wine, cooked rice, and olives. Stir to combine and then let the mixture sit untouched for a few minutes. This will help develop a crust on the bottom.
- Add oysters on top of rice and a few tablespoons of liquid to the sides of the pan.
- Cover and cook over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes or until the oysters are cooked through.
