01
Step 1
Start by bringing the broth and brown rice to a boil in a saucepan. Once it’s boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low, cover it, and let it simmer gently until the rice is tender and all the liquid is absorbed—this usually takes about 45 to 50 minutes.

Step 2
While the rice cooks, melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot, and almonds, and cook them together, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, which should take around 5 to 10 minutes. Then toss in the mushrooms and cook for just another minute or so. Don’t forget to season everything with a pinch of salt.

Step 3
When the rice is ready, stir it into the veggie and nut mixture until everything's well combined. Add the kale last and cook it down until it’s completely wilted, about 5 minutes. Serve it warm and enjoy!
