Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and prepare the vegetables by slicing the mushrooms, dicing the bell pepper and onion, and mincing the garlic.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Add Mushrooms and Spices

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and season with cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cook the Rice

    Stir in the brown rice, followed by the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for about 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.

  5. 5

    Add Spinach and Finish

    Once the rice is cooked, gently fold in the chopped spinach and lemon juice. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Vegan Arroz con Pollo!
