Creamy Brown Rice Mushroom Risotto
Savor a luscious, velvety risotto that marries the wholesome nuttiness of brown rice with the earthy flavors of sautéed mushrooms and a hint of savory cashew cream. This comforting dish is gently enriched with extra-firm tofu and nutritional yeast for an added protein boost, making it a delicious, well-rounded meal perfect for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
½ cup cooked brown rice (100g)
1 cup sliced white button mushrooms (70g)
¼ medium diced onion (40g)
2 garlic cloves
¼ cup cashew cream (from raw cashews, approx 35g)
100g extra-firm tofu, cubed
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
¼ cup nutritional yeast (15g)
PREPARATION
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they begin to release their moisture and turn golden brown.
Stir in the cooked brown rice and let it warm through, absorbing the flavors from the vegetables.
Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth gradually, stirring continuously to create a creamy texture reminiscent of classic risotto.
Gently fold in the cubed extra-firm tofu, allowing it to heat through and soak up the broth.
Mix in the cashew cream to give the dish its signature creaminess, stirring so that everything is evenly combined.
Sprinkle in the nutritional yeast and adjust seasoning if necessary, stirring once more to meld the flavors.
Serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy the balanced medley of flavors.
