I always love mushrooms in the fall and winter – they are the perfect comfort food, and so versatile! A friend of mine mentioned that she found a mushroom sampler at Costco, so it was the perfect reason to make a cozy mushroom dish for dinner this week. The sampler that I used contained four delicious mushroom varieties: Trumpet Royale, Maitake Frondosa, Alba Clamshell, and Brown Clamshell.

Of course, you could make this recipe with your mushroom of choice – portobello, baby bello, shitake, button, etc. It’s easy and satisfying, vegan, and gluten free! The base is millet, but can easily be swapped with farro, quinoa, brown rice, or even pasta. While the millet is cooking, the rest of the dish comes together quickly. Simply sauté the onions, garlic, and mushrooms – then add the seasonings, broth, and kale.

Once the mushroom mixture thickens slightly, scoop cooked millet into bowls and top with the mushroom gravy. Enjoy!
