Ingredients

  • White mushrooms: 1 cup about 8 oz or 225g
  • Fresh garlic cloves minced: 4 (4 cloves)
  • Arborio rice: 1 cup 240g
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons 30ml
  • Vegetable broth: 4 cups 950ml
  • Fresh parsley chopped: 2 tablespoons (30ml)
  • Nutritional yeast: 2 tablespoons 30ml
  • Salt: to taste
  • Black pepper: to taste
  • Vegan butter optional: 1 tablespoon (15ml)
  • Fresh lemon juice: 1 tablespoon 15ml

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan, heat up the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  • Toss in the mushrooms. Cook until they release their water and begin to brown (around 5 minutes).
  • Add the Arborio rice to the saucepan. Toast the rice lightly for about 2 minutes, ensuring it’s well coated in the oil and mushroom mixture.
  • Gradually add the vegetable broth, half a cup at a time. Wait for the liquid to be absorbed before adding more. This process ensures the creaminess of your Vegan Mushroom and Garlic Risotto.
  • Keep stirring the mixture to avoid the rice sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • After about 20 minutes, the rice should be al dente and the mixture creamy.
  • Stir in nutritional yeast, vegan butter (if using), fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Once the Vegan Mushroom and Garlic Risotto is ready, remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Use a wide, shallow pan for even cooking.
  • Continuously stirring is key for the perfect creamy consistency.
  • For an extra punch of flavor, you can add dried herbs like rosemary or thyme.
  • If your risotto is too thick, add a splash of vegetable broth to get the desired consistency.
