  • 1 cup arborio rice
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup white wine (optional)
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until the onions are translucent.
  2. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they are softened and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the arborio rice to the pot and stir until the rice is coated with the oil and vegetables.
  4. Add the white wine (if using) and stir until it is absorbed by the rice.
  5. Add the vegetable broth to the pot, one cup at a time, stirring frequently and allowing each cup of broth to be absorbed before adding the next.
  6. Continue adding broth and stirring until the rice is cooked through and has a creamy texture, about 20-25 minutes.
  7. Stir in the nutritional yeast and salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy!

See? That wasn’t so hard, was it? And the end result is a rich, savory dish that’s sure to satisfy your taste buds and warm you up from the inside out. The mushrooms give the risotto a meaty texture, while the nutritional yeast adds a cheesy, umami flavor that’s hard to resist.

Whether you’re a vegan or just looking to switch up your usual dinner routine, this mushroom risotto recipe is definitely worth a try. So grab your apron and get cooking – your taste buds will thank you!
