Step 1
Mix the salt, savory, basil, thyme, and cumin together, then grind them to a powder.
Step 2
Prepare the canned tomatoes: tear them up, remove the stem ends, remove the seeds, etc. Keep the juice.
Step 3
Heat a wide pan with a lid. Lightly fry the celery in the butter. Soften the celery but do not brown it.
Step 4
Add everything to the pan. You can add the basil, meat, and mushrooms later if you prefer.
Step 5
Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for about 20 minutes. The rice will absorb the liquid.
Step 6
Discard the bay leaf.
