Mushroom Wild Rice & Roasted Brussels Sprouts make for a delicious combination of sides or a hearty main dish. Wild Rice is rich in potassium, fiber, protein, and vitamin B6 and can play a role in maintaining a healthy metabolism. Wild rice is also not a true rice, but rather it’s a combination of grasses, but be sure to check your packaging and make sure it is gluten-free if that is what your diet is looking for.
Ingredients
Mushroom Wild Rice & Roasted Brussels Sprouts
1 cup wild rice
1/2 cup white or Bella mushrooms, sliced
2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
1 Tbs olive oil
Roasted Brussels Sprouts
1 lb. brussels sprouts, stems removed & halved
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp salt & 1/2 tsp black pepper
1 Tbs olive oil
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350ºF
Then, prepare your vegetables.
Toss the brussels sprouts ingredients together in a bowl and place in a small roasting pan.
Put the brussels sprouts in the oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, checking on them halfway through.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet or medium pot and begin sauteing the onion. Cook for 5 minutes.
Then, add the mushrooms, wild rice, and black pepper.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Add in the vegetable broth and bay leaves and bring to a low boil.
Once boiling, cover the skillet with a lid, reduce heat to low, and cook until done.
Wild rice cooks longer than regular rice if you want it to be soft and fluffy, so it may take 40-50 minutes. If your brussels sprouts are done at this time, remove them from the oven and over to keep warm.
After 35 minutes, add the heavy cream or coconut milk to the rice and any more water if the broth has been fully absorbed.

If you don’t have tomato puree, you can blend one can of diced tomatoes and add an 8oz can of tomato sauce to supplement.
Once your vegetables are prepped, heat about 2-3 Tbs of olive oil in a large pan on high heat.
Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes or until translucent and soft.
Then, add the diced eggplant and cook for 3-4 more minutes.

Pour in the tomato puree or mix and add in the oregano and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to cook uncovered for about 15 minutes.
In another pot, boil water for your pasta. Cook for 8-10 minutes or according to the package and drain the water once the pasta is cooked.
Add half of the eggplant mixture to the pasta when done and toss well.
Then, serve the eggplant pasta and top with the remaining sauce.

Place on a small tray in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a bit of olive oil in a large stovetop pot on medium-high heat.
Once hot, saute the onion for 8-10 minutes.
Then, add the rice and herbs. Cook for 2 minutes. (If using dried & quick soaked beans, add now)
Next, add in the tomatoes and fill each can with water once and add to the pot. Stir together well.
Bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
When your garlic has completed roasting, carefully remove from the peels and mash the garlic in a small bowl with a fork. Add the garlic to the soup.
If using canned navy beans, add the beans in during the last 15 minutes of simmering.
Once your rice is fully cooked and the soup is to your desired flavor, serve hot & enjoy!
