  • Spinach & Mushroom Wild Rice Bake
  • 2 TBSP butter divided
  • 1/4 c Vidalia onion sliced
  • 1 - 8- oz. pkg. cremini baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 TBSP olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 TBSP fresh oregano or 1 tsp. dried
  • 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 bunch spinach rough chopped (stems removed)
  • 2 TBSP all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/8 cup coconut creamer

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat 1 TBSP butter over Medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, 5 minutes or until lightly caramelized. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • To the skillet, add the remaining 1 TBSP butter. Once melted, add the mushrooms, oregano, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to Low. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2-3 minutes, until mushrooms are slightly softened and fragrant.
  • Add the garlic and cook an additional minute or so.
  • Add the spinach and stir frequently just until it begins to wilt; 2-3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with flour and toss gently to coat.
  • Pour in the milk and vegetable broth.
  • Stir frequently, 1-2 minutes, as mixture begins to thicken.
  • Slowly add the creamer (do not allow to boil) and remove from heat. Stir to combine.
  • Fold in the pre-cooked wild rice, caramelized onions, and 1 cup cheese.
  • Pour everything into a prepared 8x8 baking dish and top with the remaining 1 cup cheese.
  • Bake 20 minutes or until heated through. Serve warm.
