this is going to be a meal suggestion with lots of options. in an earlier post, i referred to myself as the vegetarian version of sandra lee, of semi-homemade fame. sometimes i like to take short cuts...tonight's recipe made use of this wonderful wheat pilaf from a box and i'm not too proud to admit it.
ingredients:
large portobella mushrooms (as many as you need to feed your peeps)
balsamic dressing or marinade of choice (or any marinade that suits your fancy for that matter)
any grain pilaf of choice....rice, bulgar, quinoa. homemade or boxed. (read your labels)
1 can drained chickpeas
greens of choice sauteed in vegetable broth or use frozen
1 red onion sliced
a little more veggie broth
bragg's liquid aminos
a little goat or feta cheese if you're not a strict vegan
how to:
marinate mushrooms in dressing for a couple of hours. boil greens in vegetable broth until nice and tender. cook your grains according to package directions or your own recipe. add chickpeas to boiling water, along with your grain. saute onions in vegetable broth and bragg's to taste, until caramelized. bake mushrooms in 350 degree oven for about 30-40 minutes, flipping them about halfway through....or better yet, grill them. it's still too cold for grilling in my neck of the woods.
top your mushroom with cheese (if using), grain pilaf, greens and caramelized onions. return to oven for a few minutes.
enjoy....i served mine with citrus caramelized butternut squash...
