Mushroom Grain Bowl Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425.
• Make the vegetables: Cut the broccoli into bite-size florets. Peel the stems, and cut these into 3/4-inch pieces. In a large bowl, season the broccoli well with salt, and toss with 3 or 4 tablespoons of olive oil to coat. Spread it out in one layer on a sheet pan. Season and oil the mushrooms the same way, and spread them out on a separate sheet pan. Roast the vegetables until the mushrooms are browned but still juicy and the broccoli has charred edges, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Make the omelet ribbons: In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a couple pinches of salt. Heat a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat until hot. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of oil. When the oil slips around the pan like water, add half the egg, and swirl to coat the pan. Cook until set, about 30 seconds. Use a spatula to roll the omelet up like a jellyroll toward the edge of the pan, then turn it out onto a cutting board. Repeat with the rest of the egg. Slice the omelets into 1/4-inch-thick ribbons.
• In a mixing bowl, season and dress the warm grains with salt and the dressing to taste. Divide among bowls. Top the grains with some mushrooms and broccoli, drizzling on a little more dressing. Top with the omelet ribbons and your crunchy garnish, and eat. Use the leftovers to make this again.

Steps:

• Heat the butter and half the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook on one side, pressing down, until really crispy. Turn over, add the garlic and cook the other side, again until golden. You may need to do this in batches if you don't have a big enough pan. Add the paprika, season well with salt and pepper and set aside in a bowl.
• Heat the remaining oil in the pan, add the kale and fry for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Season with lots of black pepper and toss with the mushrooms.
• Heat the grains according to the packet instructions and mix with the extra-virgin olive oil, herbs and lemon juice to taste. Divide the grains between four bowls and add the mushrooms and kale. Top each bowl with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of smoked paprika and serve.

Steps:

• In a large sauté pan, warm the sesame oil or extra-virgin olive oil over medi­um heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until lightly golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the tamari and sauté for 2 minutes more. Deglaze the pan with the mirin to release the bits from the bottom of the pan. Turn off heat.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing. Using a spatula, stir in the grains and fully coat. Add the mushrooms and 3 cups of the greens, and gently fold to coat well with the dressing. Top with the avocado, reserved greens, and gomashio.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. On a parchment-lined sheet pan, toss together the mushrooms, scallions, halloumi and 3 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. (The pan might be crowded, but that's OK.) Roast on the bottom rack until crisp and golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cover the barley with 2 inches of water and season with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, then leave in the strainer to drain again. Hold onto the saucepan; there is no need to wash it at this stage.
• In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt and olives; season to taste with salt and pepper.
• When the mushroom mixture is done roasting, finely grate the zest of the lemon over it and stir to combine. Shake the barley to get rid of any water, then transfer it back to the saucepan, along with the raw vegetables, herbs and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Halve the lemon and squeeze enough juice into the barley mixture until it tastes peppy and fresh (about 2 tablespoons); season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Spoon and spread out a small amount of the barley into bowls, then add small spoonfuls of yogurt and top with a layer of the mushroom mixture. Repeat with another layer of barley, yogurt and mushrooms. Drizzle with olive oil. Leftovers will keep for up to 2 days refrigerated. Adjust seasonings with salt and lemon juice.

Steps:

• Place the racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven, and heat the oven to 450 degrees. Place two baking sheets in the oven to heat.
• In a large bowl (or two if you need), toss broccoli and cauliflower florets, stems and leaves, and the brussels sprouts with enough olive oil to coat (around ½ cup). Season generously with salt and pepper. (Don't wash the bowl.) Roast on the heated sheets, rotating the pans and switching racks halfway through but leaving the vegetables themselves untouched, until browned and crisp-tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the nutritional yeast, ¼ cup water, remaining ¼ cup olive oil, the lemon juice, mustard and garlic powder. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the grains to the large bowl. Season and dress the grains with salt, lemon zest, and some of the nutritional yeast dressing to taste.
• Top the grains with the roasted vegetables, then drizzle with some of the dressing. Top with the almonds.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Cook grains with 1/2 tsp. salt according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, whisk oil, pepper, cinnamon, and 3/4 tsp. salt with a fork in a large bowl. Add squash, mushrooms, and onion and toss to coat. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and roast, tossing once halfway through, until vegetables are lightly browned and fork-tender, 25-30 minutes.
• Mix yogurt, lemon juice, curry powder, and 1/8 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Divide yogurt mixture between 2 bowls, swooshing it along the side of the bowl if desired. Top with rice, then vegetables and greens. Squeeze with lemon and top with cilantro, if desired.
