Ingredients

• 1 cup Brown rice
• 1 cup Lentils (cooked)
• 2 cups Mushrooms (button or cremini, sliced)
• 1 medium Onion (chopped)
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cups Vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the brown rice under cold water and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the saucepan and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the rinsed brown rice, ensuring it's well combined with the mushroom mixture.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.

Step 7

In a separate frying pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cooked lentils and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 8

Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and gently fold in the sautéed lentils and nutritional yeast.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot as a delicious main course or a side dish.
