Creamy Brown Rice Mushroom Risotto
A satisfying twist on traditional risotto, this Creamy Brown Rice Mushroom Risotto combines the hearty texture of brown rice with earthy mushrooms, creamy nutritional yeast, and protein-packed additions like white beans and tofu. It offers a comforting bowl that's both nourishing and well-balanced, with a luxurious creamy finish achieved without heavy cream.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup white beans, drained
4 ounces firm tofu
2 cups vegetable broth
1/4 medium diced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp olive oil
Herbs & Spices (salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary) to taste
PREPARATION
Rinse the brown rice and set aside. In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable broth and keep it warm over low heat.
In a separate large pan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Sauté until the mushrooms release their moisture and begin to brown slightly.
Stir in the uncooked brown rice, ensuring it is evenly coated with the oil and flavors.
Gradually add the warm vegetable broth to the rice mixture, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb the liquid slowly, mimicking a traditional risotto texture.
When the rice is nearly cooked (about 30 minutes), fold in the white beans and gently cube the firm tofu, adding it to the risotto.
Stir in the nutritional yeast and your chosen herbs (thyme, rosemary) along with salt and pepper. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes until the tofu is heated through and the flavors meld.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the creamy, satisfying risotto.
