  • Creamy Vegan Mushroom Wild Rice Soup

    Creamy Vegan Mushroom Wild Rice Soup

    Ingredients

    *7 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided

    *14 oz mushrooms

    *2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

    *1 onion, diced

    *4 cloves garlic, minced

    *1 tsp dried thyme

    *1 tsp dried oregano

    *1/2 tsp dried rosemary, chopped

    *1/4 tsp ground sage

    *1/2 cup white wine (may use vegan broth)

    *1/3 cup all-purpose flour (or 1:1 all-purpose gluten-free flour blend)

    *5 cups vegan soup stock

    *1 1/2 cups vegan unsweetened milk (I use soy. Avoid rice milk which is quite thin.)

    *2 celery stalks, sliced (~ 2/3 cup)

    *2 carrots, diced or cut into half-moons (~1 cup)

    *1 cup wild rice blend

    *7 oz chopped kale or spinach ~3 cups/1 bunch

    *salt and pepper to taste

    Preparation

    In a large heavy bottomed pot , heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. When shimmering, add the mushrooms and cook for 8-9 minutes, or until cooked and caramelized in spots. Add the balsamic vinegar, cooking for another few minutes or until the moisture has mostly evaporated and the mushrooms are glazed. Place the mushrooms on a plate for later.

    Reduce the heat to medium, and add the remaining 5 tablespoons of oil. When shimmering, add the onions. Cook until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, oregano, rosemary and sage, cooking for 30 seconds. Deglaze with the wine, cooking until most of the moisture is cooked off.

     

     

    Sprinkle in the flour, stirring frequently for 2 minutes to cook the flour. Pour in 2 cups of broth, whisking constantly to prevent flour lumps from forming, until the mixture thickens.

    Add the rest of the broth, milk, celery, carrots, and rice and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for as long as directed on the rice package – this will vary depending on the blend you’re using.

    At the end of cooking, add the kale. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the kale is bright and softened. Stir the mushrooms back into the pot. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately

    Rustic Boiled Bread Balls with Sesame Seed Topping

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients:

    400 ml warm water (around 105°F)
    1 tablespoon sugar
    8 g dry yeast
    30 ml vegetable oil
    700 g wheat flour
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
    1 tablespoon black sesame seeds (optional)

    Instructions:

    Activate the yeast:
    In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and dry yeast. Stir well and let it sit for 5 minutes in a warm place until the yeast becomes foamy.
    Mix the dough: Add vegetable oil to the yeast mixture. Sift the flour through a sieve and gradually add it to the wet ingredients, along with salt. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
    Knead the dough:
    Turn the dough onto a lightly oiled surface and knead for 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
    First rise: Place the dough in a bowl greased with vegetable oil. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
    Shape the dough: Punch down the dough and roll it into a large ball. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Cover the balls loosely and let them rise for another 10-15 minutes.
    Boil the dough: 
    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Gently lower each dough ball into the boiling water and cook for 30-40 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    Bake the bread:
    Brush the tops of the dough balls with water or milk and sprinkle with a mixture of white and black sesame seeds (or just white sesame seeds). Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
    Cool and enjoy! Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
    Tips and Tricks:
    Sifting Flour: If you don’t have a sieve, whisk the flour before adding it to the dough to incorporate air and ensure a lighter texture.
    Rising Environment: To create a warm environment for the dough to rise, you can preheat your oven to the lowest setting, turn it off, and place the dough inside with the oven door slightly open.
    Boiling the Dough:
    Boiling the dough gives the bread a chewy texture similar to bagels. Be gentle when lowering the dough balls into the water to maintain their shape.
    Sesame Seeds: Mix white and black sesame seeds for an attractive presentation. Alternatively, you can use poppy seeds or sunflower seeds for variety.
    Checking Doneness: Adjust the baking time slightly depending on your oven. The bread is done when it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
    Storing Bread:
    This bread is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to regain freshness.
