vegan + grain-free risotto with superfood kale pesto




rice free? risotto? yes! made with calorie free miracle rice, walnuts, nutritional yeast and a load of other deliciously healthy ingredients, this recipe is simple and fool-proof! a much healthier alternative to the traditional version...but every bit as creamy!

rice:
2 bags miracle rice, drained
1 small onion, chopped
2 T coconut oil
1/2 c bone broth
s + p to taste

-in a medium sauce pan, heat oil and sauté onion for a few minutes. add broth, bring to a boil and add miracle rice. boil for 10 minutes, then remove from heat & season with salt + pepper. 

pesto:
1/2 c raw walnuts
3 cloves garlic
1/2 c packed fresh parsley
1/4 c fresh chives
4 basil leaves
2 c chopped kale
1/3 c nutritional yeast flakes
1 t holy basil powder
3 T evoo
2 T acv
3 drops oregano oil
s + p to taste

-add all ingredients to a food processor and process until smooth. taste for seasoning and stir into rice, combining well. serve in bowls topped with fresh basil leaves, chopped walnuts and black pepper. option to add fresh fish or organic meat to top off the dish would be delicious! maybe some crispy bacon? yum.
