Vegetable broth or water
1 cup

lemon, zested and juiced

INSTRUCTIONS
Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Chop the portobello mushrooms and shave the carrots if not already done.
Chop the fresh dill and set aside.
Zest the lemon, and then juice it. Set aside.
In a medium-sized pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly browned.
Stir in the ground turmeric and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the turmeric to bloom and release its flavor.
Add the rinsed brown rice to the pot, stirring to coat the rice with the mushroom-flavored oil.
Pour in the vegetable broth or water, and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the rice simmer for 20 minutes.
In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the lemon zest and juice, and stir gently. Allow the rice to finish cooking until the liquid is absorbed.
Fluff the rice with a fork, then stir in the shaved carrots and chopped dill.
Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve the lemon-herb veggie rice warm, topped with toasted almonds for an added crunch.
Pair it with Cauliflower Hummus & Eggplant Medley for a complete and satisfying meal.
