Ingredients
- 300 g Arborio rice (or any short-grain rice suitable for risotto)
- 450 g mushrooms sliced
- 1 small onion
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 l vegetable broth
- 240 ml dry white wine (optional)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp vegan butter (optional)
- 120 ml nutritional yeast (for a cheesy flavor, optional)
- fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
- vegan parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable broth in a saucepan and keep it warm on low heat.
- In a large, deep skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and sauté for a few minutes until they become translucent.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they start to brown and release their moisture.
- Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for a couple of minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
- If using, pour in the white wine and stir until it's mostly absorbed by the rice.
- Begin adding the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow each addition of broth to be absorbed before adding more. This gradual process should take about 18-20 minutes, and it's essential for achieving the creamy texture of risotto.
- When the rice is creamy and cooked to your desired level of tenderness, stir in the vegan butter (if using), nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve hot.
- Optionally, sprinkle vegan Parmesan cheese on top before serving.Enjoy your delicious vegan mushroom risotto!
