Ingredients

Millet Grits

  • 1 cup (195g) dry hulled millet or millet grits
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 ¼ cups (10oz) unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Mushrooms

  • 16 oz baby bella mushrooms halved and quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons tamari gluten-free soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  • If using hulled millet, process in a food processor on high for a minute. If using millet grits, omit this step.
  • Place millet, water, almond milk, oil, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and whisk in nutritional yeast and garlic powder. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
    Once millet grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in butter and lemon juice. Add an extra couple tablespoons of almond milk at a time for a creamier mixture, if desired.
  • While millet is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium frying pan. Add mushrooms and cook over medium heat. After a few minutes, add remaining ingredients. Cook on medium-low, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms have reduced.
  • Divide cooked millet grits into four bowls. Top with mushrooms and remaining liquid. Serve warm.

Notes

To store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Add a little extra milk or water when reheating. Portions can be reheated in the refrigerator.
