Creamy Mushroom Brown Rice Risotto
A comforting twist on traditional risotto featuring earthy cremini mushrooms, hearty brown rice, and a protein boost from extra-firm tofu and cannellini beans. This dish offers a rich, creamy texture with hints of garlic, thyme, and nutritional yeast for a savory finish.
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup uncooked Brown Rice
1 cup sliced Cremini Mushrooms
1/4 cup diced Onion
2 cloves minced Garlic
1.5 cups Vegetable Broth
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 cup Cannellini Beans (drained)
1 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
3/4 cup cubed Extra-Firm Tofu
3 sprigs Fresh Thyme
PREPARATION
Rinse the brown rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, lightly toast the rice with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil for about 2 minutes.
Add 1.5 cups of vegetable broth gradually, stirring continuously to help release the rice's starches and create a creamy texture.
In a separate pan, heat a splash of olive oil and sauté the diced onion until translucent. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.
Gently fold in the sautéed vegetables, 1/2 cup cannellini beans, and cubed tofu into the rice. Mix in the nutritional yeast and a few leaves from the thyme sprigs.
Allow the risotto to simmer over low heat until the rice is cooked through and the mixture has achieved a creamy consistency, adding a splash more broth if needed.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as desired. Garnish with the remaining thyme sprigs before serving.
