Preparation

Step 1
Combine the rice and 1 cup of water in a heavy-bottomed pot; bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer rice, cooking for 17 minutes, until it is tender.
Step 2
Rinse the mushrooms, and remove bottom of stems. In a food processor, process the mushrooms until they are in very small pieces.
Step 3
Heat the butter in a small nonstick pan, and saute the mushrooms over medium-low heat for a couple of minutes, until they release their juices. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Steam peas over hot water just a few minutes, until they are heated through.
Step 5
When rice is cooked, combine well with mushrooms, and season with salt and a little pepper. Place in small ring mold, and press down; then, turn out onto serving plate. Fill the center with peas. Or spoon the rice-mushroom mixture into a mound, make a depression in the center, and fill the depression with peas.
