Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups brown rice (organic)
  • 1 lb cauliflower floret (approximately)
  • 1/2 cup carrot, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomato
  • 5 ounces mushrooms (fresh, cleaned and stemmed or frozen)
  • 1 -2 cup plant milk, unflavored (divided)
  • 4 -5 cups broccoli, chopped (or broken into small florets, fresh or frozen)
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/3 cup nutritional yeast flakes
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, plus more to taste
  • 2 -3 teaspoons white miso (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Method

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the rice and simmer until the rice is mostly tender. 30-45 minutes. (Prep ingredients and start on #2 while rice is simmering). Drain and add back to the rinsed large pot.
  • Place cauliflower, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms and carrots into a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and allow to cook at a low boil until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and drain into a colander.
  • Transfer cauliflower medley to a food processor. Add 1 cup of plant milk, the nutritional yeast and miso and blend until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed.
  • Add broccoli, onion and garlic to the pot with the rice. Add in the cauliflower sauce. Stir and bring to a low simmer. Cook just until broccoli is tender and bright green, about 3 minutes. If needed, thin with more milk. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.
