Why we love this recipe

Made with wholesome local grains, this dish is my favourite comfort food — inspired by the flavours of the harvest season. Best of all, it’s incredibly versatile and can be adapted to include any seasonal vegetables you have on hand!

Steps

Step 1

Halve the leeks lengthwise, wash the layers thoroughly, and slice into thin strips.

Step 2

Wash and trim the mushrooms, halve them if necessary, and slice into medium-thick rounds.

Step 3

Sauté the vegetables in a pot until lightly browned.

Step 4

Wash the grains, add them to the pot, and deglaze with soy sauce.

Step 5

Add the vegetable broth, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Cover and simmer over medium heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Stir in the thyme just before the end of the cooking time and season to taste.
