Vegan Recipe: Wild Rice with Beans, Mushrooms, Onions, and Tomatoes

I am always looking for new vegan recipes. Most people think being a vegan means sacrificing more than just animal byproducts, but taste as well, so my goal is to always be finding amazing vegan foods. Tonight all I had in my fridge was an onion, mushrooms, and tomatoes. I have to say for a minute there I was stumped, but I went to the pantry and found beans and wild rice; I figured I would make the rice and add all the veggies in with the beans. At first it worked... then I realized I needed more moisture, so I added orange juice. Then I tasted it and found it needed more flavor, so I added vegan vegetable bullion. The outcome was delicious. 

So if you are interested, here is the recipe. Enjoy! 

What you will need:

~ A white onion 

~ Mushrooms

~ Tomatoes 

~ Wild rice 

~ Beans 

~ Vegan vegetable bullion 

~ Orange juice 

~ Rice cooker 

~ Cutting board 

~ A knife 

~ A pot 

Put rice in the rice cooker first so that it will be almost done when the veggies are. Cut up the onion, mushrooms, and tomatoes and put them in the pot, then turn the burner on to medium heat. To the pot add your can of rinsed beans. Stir all the veggies and beans together and add in enough orange juice to coat the bottom of the pot. Once the pot is simmering add the vegan vegetable bullion. Once everything is mixed together let it simmer until the rice is finished. Once the rice and veggies and beans are all done put out on a plate and enjoy! 

I'm telling you this is so delicious and healthy and filling. It will be on my weekly menu from now on! I may even make it on Valentine's day for my hubby. I hope you enjoy your week and have a great Valentine's day!
