Vegan Risotto with Peas
A creamy Italian-style rice dish made with Arborio rice, green peas, vegetable stock, and nutritional yeast, without dairy.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Pour the vegetable stock into the saucepan. Bring it just to a simmer over medium heat, then keep it warm over low heat.
-
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp (30 ml) of the olive oil in the heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent without browning.
-
Step 3
Add the garlic and Arborio rice. Stir over medium heat until the garlic is fragrant and the rice edges look slightly translucent.
-
Step 4
Pour in the wine and stir until it has been almost completely absorbed.
-
Step 5
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, and continue until the rice is creamy and tender with a slight firmness at the center.
-
Step 6
Stir in the peas and cook over medium heat until hot and tender and the rice is fully cooked.
-
Step 7
Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and black pepper until creamy, then serve immediately.
