"This recipe brings together a lot of my favorite foods, flavors, and textures. I love the combination of sweet and savory, as well as the soft texture of the oats and avocado with the crunchy pepper and juicy pineapple," says Heather Nauta, who shares her recipes on Healthy Vegan Recipes.
Serves: 2 to 3
Ingredients:
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons white wine (or vegetable broth)
3 cups sliced mushrooms
1 lime, zested and juiced
1 tablespoon mixed dried herbs (basil, oregano, marjoram)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup rolled oats
1 1/2 cups water (or vegetable broth)
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
2 cups spinach
1 red pepper, chopped
1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
1 avocado, sliced
Directions:
1. Heat a pot over medium-high heat and cook onions and garlic in wine for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, lime zest and juice, herbs, paprika, and salt and cook for another 10 minutes, until mushrooms are softened. Add oats, water, and nutritional yeast and stir to combine. Turn heat down to medium-low and let cook for 5 minutes, or until oats are softened and liquid is absorbed.
2. You can either serve this over a bed of fresh spinach and topped with pepper, pineapple, and avocado, or stir spinach, pepper, and pineapple in to cook a little bit and then serve topped with avocado.
