Published on in Hot Meals, Special Occasions, Sugar & Flour Free, Vegan, Vegetarian, Winter

Ingredients*

Grain

  • 1/2 cup arborio rice, dry 4 oz

Veggies

  • 4 oz onion shallots, or leeks, diced
  • 1 lb in-season mushrooms shredded or sliced (I love oysters, chanterelles, criminis, or maitakes)

Fat

  • 4 Tbsp olive oil or butter 2 oz

Seasonings

  • 1.5 cups veggie broth
  • 1/2 cup red or white wine
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried tarragon or other Italian herbs
  • A few grinds of black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce or tamari for gluten free
  • 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast or grated parmesan if not vegan
  • Fresh chopped herbs to garnish thyme, marjoram, sage, etc.

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, sauté the mushrooms until well browned in 2 Tbsp of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • In the same pan, sauté the leeks in the rest of the oil until translucent. Add the wine and rice.
  • Heat the vegetable stock in a separate saucepan.
  • Stir hot vegetable stock into the rice, 1/2 cup at a time until absorbed, for about 20-25 minutes or until cooked.
  • Stir in mushrooms and seasonings.
  • Salt if needed, depending on the salt content of the vegetable broth you used.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and enjoy!
