Savory Veggie Sausage and Mushroom Rice Bowl

1.Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.

2.In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and vegetable broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.

3.While the rice is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

4.Add the sliced veggie sausages to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to brown.

5.Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until they are tender and browned.

6.Stir in the diced tomatoes, spinach, and broccoli florets. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the spinach wilts and the broccoli is tender but still vibrant green.

7.Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

8.Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and divide it among serving bowls. Top each bowl with the veggie sausage and vegetable mixture.

9.Serve warm and enjoy your Savory Veggie Sausage and Mushroom Rice Bowl!
