Vegan Mushroom Risotto
Creamy Wild Mushroom Risotto with Fresh Herbs
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mixed wild mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster), sliced
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 1/2 cup white wine (optional)
- 4 cups vegetable broth, warmed
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sliced wild mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 7-8 minutes.
- Stir in the Arborio rice, making sure each grain is coated with the oil and mushrooms. Toast the rice for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- If using, pour in the white wine and cook until it is absorbed by the rice.
- Begin adding the warm vegetable broth to the skillet, one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently. Allow each ladleful to be absorbed by the rice before adding more.
- Continue adding the vegetable broth and stirring until the rice is tender and creamy, about 20-25 minutes.
- Stir in the nutritional yeast, fresh parsley, and fresh thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the skillet from heat and let the risotto rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Serve the vegan mushroom risotto warm.
