Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Beyond Meat ground
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the Beyond Meat and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, thyme, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the uncooked rice to the skillet and stir to coat with the vegetables and spices.
  5. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
  6. Return the cooked Beyond Meat to the skillet. Stir everything together.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  8. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
  9. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the fresh parsley before serving.
