Ingredients
- 1 (8-oz) package organic soft tofu, drained
- 1 cup vegetable stock
- 1 cup brown basmati rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 2 small yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1.5 lb mixed mushrooms (cremini, portobello, oyster)
- 3 gherkins, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 tsp sweet paprika
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 1.5 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1-2 fresh thyme sprigs
- 1 heaping cup baby spinach, roughly chopped

- 1 tsp grated lemon zest
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 0.33 cup roughly chopped toasted cashews
Instructions
- Blend tofu and vegetable stock until smooth; set aside.
- Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 25–30 min until tender.
- Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook onions 6–8 min until translucent and slightly golden. Add garlic and 1 tsp salt; cook 1 min until fragrant. Transfer onions to a bowl.
- In the same pan, sauté mushrooms about 7 min until golden. Lower heat slightly, stir in garlic-onion mixture, gherkins if using, paprika, and cayenne. Cook 2 min more. Deglaze with white wine and cook about 2 min until mostly evaporated.
- Stir in mustard, then add tofu puree and bring to a boil. Add thyme, reduce to a simmer, and cook 6–8 min until thickened. Stir in spinach until wilted, about 1 min. Mix in parsley, lemon zest, and juice. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide rice among bowls, top with stroganoff, sprinkle with toasted cashews, and serve.
