Μανιτάρια και μαύρο ρύζι με φασόλια Crispy σκόρδο

Filling and delicious as a hearty main meal. The infusion of the rice and potatoes with porcini makes them very savoury and the sauce is delicious. The crispy fried garlic topping is very good but omit it if you wish to keep this a very low fat dish
