4. Drain the rice and mix it with the mushrooms and their cooking liquid. Serve sprinkled with the grated Gruyere.

A lovely Autumnal feel to this image, I particularly like the use of 16/9. despite the well focused and lovely judjed saturation I think this image is too uniform. Funny to say with so much texture I know, but a basket, or a knife, something else to break up the uniformity would punch out the interest.
for all that I love this image.
