Grain Free Spicy Mushroom Pea Risotto.

Ok, so I have a confession...I've never actually had risotto before. And risotto is not necessarily what this dish was supposed to be! But I kept adding ingredients as I went (totally FUN if you've never done it before!) and ended up with this risotto-like yummy dish. Quick and easy as usual and nice and spicy. Hope you enjoy!

              The essential close up!



Grain Free Spicy Mushroom Pea Risotto; Vegan, Gluten-free. Serves one. 


Ingredients 
1. 1 T bragg's liquid aminos
2. 1/2 cup frozen green peas
3. 6 oz. white button mushrooms, sliced
4. 1/4-1/2 tsp chipotle powder
5. Garlic and onion powders to taste (approx. 1/4 tsp each)
6. 1/3 cup TVP granules
7. Scant 1/3 cup water
8. Romaine lettuce for garnish


Method
1. In a medium microwaveable bowl, combine TVP and water and microwave for one minute on high. Set aside. 
2. In a non stick skillet, eat the liquid aminos and sauté mushrooms and peas for about 2-3 minutes until mushrooms begin to exude their juices. Add spices and fold in. 
3. Add now cooked TVP and a splash of water. If you want to add more chipotle spices, add it here. Fold in and cook for about 4 minutes, until liquid is absorbed. 
4. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with lettuce, and enjoy!
