Mushroom Buddha Bowl

Not only is this mushroom buddha bowl super delicious, it's also healthy and contains all sorts of good fats and nutrients. It's the perfect meal for after a workout!

1 cup cooked brown rice

½ cup firm tofu, cubed or cut into decorative triangles

½ avocado, thinly sliced

1 cup mixed mushrooms like shiitake, Portobello and cremini, sliced

Salt and pepper

Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Colavita Tartufolio for drizzling

2 cloves of garlic, crushed

⅛ cup crushed nuts such as walnuts, pecans or almonds

Sauté the mushrooms. Heat 1 tbsp Colavita olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic cloves and sauté until aromatic, about 3 minutes (don't let the garlic burn). Add the mushrooms, ¼ tsp salt and ⅛ tsp pepper. Cook until mushrooms have absorbed the seasonings and softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

In a serving bowl, add the cooked rice as the base. Arrange the mushrooms on top of the rice, then add the other toppings - the tofu and avocado - around the perimeter of the bowl. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper to taste. Add the crushed nuts in the middle and drizzle the bowl with a little Colavita Tartufolio.

Serve.
