Mushroom and Spinach Buckwheat Risotto for a healthy and delicious dinner

This mushroom and spinach buckwheat risotto is the perfect warming and satisfying dinner. Buckwheat is a great alternative to typical risotto rice for those who are avoiding gluten. It also contains lots of amino acids, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

I made this for me and my Mom and she was a big fan! Perfect dinner for this time of year when you want something cosy and filling.

This recipe is gluten free and suitable for vegans.

Course Main Course

Ingredients

1 onion diced
4-6 cloves garlic minced
12 medium roughly chopped
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2-1 teaspoon salt to taste
1 cup buckwheat uncooked
3 cups vegan broth
2 cups spinach chopped
2 teaspoon nutritional yeast optional
1-2 teaspoons lime juice
coconut oil

Instructions

Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and a little coconut oil stirring occasionally, until softened
Add mushrooms, thyme, salt, until mushrooms are softened
Add buckwheat and stir until well coated
Add vegan broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well, and allowing the buckwheat to soak up all the liquid before adding more – this takes about 3-5 minutes or so each time.
Once you’ve added almost all the broth, add the spinach, nutritional yeast, lime juice and the rest of the broth and stir until the spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Taste, and add more salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed. Serve immediately.
