\n
\n

Chop onions, celery and carrots finely<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Sautee chopped vegetables in olive oil<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Soak the dry porcini mushrooms in hot water for 10 m. Drain the water out but save it in a separate bowl. Chop the mushrooms<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

When the vegetables are browned, add the minced meat and let it brown as well. Use a large whisk to break down the meat as it is sizzling<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Pour half a glass of dry white wine and let the alcohol evaporate . NOTE: Please make sure the meat is sizzling and all the juice has evaporated from the pan before you add the wine. Wait about 5 m for the wine to evaporate<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Add the mushrooms and the water in which the mushroom soaked<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Add salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Add the tomato puree and some broth or hot water<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Let simmer for 2-3 hours<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

If the sauce is thick, add some of the water from the mushrooms<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Directions for the Rice<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Boil the rice in hot water with some salt for only ten minutes. Drain and leave aside<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Using a mold shaped for a bundt cake, grease the sides, and layer with slices of ham (so they fall a bit ‘off the edges). You can also use alluminum foil small cups if you prefer to make single servings <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Create another layer with the slices of cheese. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Season the rice with butter, heavy cream, mozzarella and Parmigiano-Reggiano, mix well<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Pour the rice into the baking mold and cover the top with the ham strips protruding from the mold<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Cover with aluminum foil bake 180 \u00b0C or 350 \u00b0F for <\/i> 25 minutes<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
