  • Rehydrate the dried mushrooms. You may need between 30 minutes to 2 hours depending if you use boiled water or cold water. The cold water method is slower, but has the benefit of better preserving the fragrance of the mushrooms.

  • Cut each lobster in half and season with sherry, salt and pepper. Set aside for about half an hour.

  • Chop the onions. Put some butter on a hot pan and sauté the onion and rice.

  • Dissolve the bouillon cube in boiling water together with the saffron spice (the 'saffron' spice you can afford as real saffron is quite expensive!).

  • Mix the rehydrated mushrooms with the rice and then add the fresh peas.

  • Your rice will be ready when you feel it is creamy and tender.
