Hey there! I’m so excited to share with you my latest culinary creation – a vegan mushroom risotto recipe that’s packed with flavor and perfect for those chilly fall evenings when you want something warm and comforting to fill you up.
As a vegan, I’m always on the lookout for recipes that are both tasty and meat-free, and this one definitely fits the bill. It’s also surprisingly easy to make, so even if you’re not the most experienced cook, you can still whip up a batch of this delicious risotto in no time.
Ingredients:
- 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:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until the onions are translucent.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot and cook until they are softened and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the arborio rice to the pot and stir until the rice is coated with the oil and vegetables.
- Add the white wine (if using) and stir until it is absorbed by the rice.
- 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.
- Continue adding broth and stirring until the rice is cooked through and has a creamy texture, about 20-25 minutes.
- Stir in the nutritional yeast and salt and pepper to taste.
- 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.
