Preparation

In a large pot, cook oil, onion, celery, and garlic over medium heat until softened and started to turn golden, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add broth, Ralston Family Farms rice, mustard powder, salt, black pepper, and oregano.

Bring to a simmer and cook covered for about 25 minutes then add in the sweet potato.

Simmer and cook covered for another 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender.

Remove from heat and stir in the kale until cooked – about 3 minutes.

Stir in heavy cream and lemon juice. Taste and add a bit more salt if desired.

Serve immediately alongside some crusty bread for a rustic and filling vegetarian meal – perfect for Autumn.
