Ingredients

6 servings

For the cashew cream

1 cup raw cashews
1 ½ cups water

For the rice

1 cup wild rice blend, rinsed
2 ½ cups vegetable broth

For the filling

2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
10 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried sage
½ tsp smoked paprika

1 cup vegetable broth
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
salt and pepper, to taste

For the topping

½ cup vegan breadcrumbs

Instructions

1
Place the cashews in a bowl, cover with boiling water, and soak for 20 minutes, then drain and rinse. Transfer to a blender with 1 1/2 cups fresh water and blend on high until completely smooth, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
2
Combine the rinsed wild rice blend and 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 40–45 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
