A creamy Italian-style risotto with browned mushrooms, Arborio rice, white wine, nutritional yeast, and vegan butter.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Place the vegetable stock in a medium saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce to low heat and keep warm.
-
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, ⅜ tsp (2 gr) salt, and ⅜ tsp (1 gr) ground black pepper; cook until browned and their released moisture has evaporated.
-
Step 3
Heat the remaining 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent.
-
Step 4
Add the garlic and stir until fragrant.
-
Step 5
Add the Arborio rice and stir over medium heat until the grains are glossy and their edges appear slightly translucent.
-
Step 6
Pour in the white wine and stir until it is almost completely absorbed.
-
Step 7
Add the warm stock one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently over medium heat. Wait until each addition is mostly absorbed before adding the next, continuing until all the stock is incorporated and the rice is tender but retains a slight bite.
-
Step 8
Fold the browned mushrooms into the risotto and heat through.
-
Step 9
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vegan butter, nutritional yeast, remaining ⅝ tsp (4 gr) salt, and remaining ⅜ tsp (1 gr) ground black pepper until creamy.
-
Step 10
Let the risotto rest briefly, then fold in the parsley and serve immediately.
