Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup chopped sea purslane

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Special equipment needed:

Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and cook until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
2. Add the sliced mushrooms and sea purslane to the pan and cook until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir to coat with the oil and vegetables. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
4. Add the white wine to the pan and stir until it is absorbed by the rice.
