Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Arborio rice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 12 ounces Button or Cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 5 cups Vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 0.5 cup Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 cup Coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and cook for 5 minutes until they are softened and browned.
Add the Arborio rice to the saucepan, stirring continuously for 2 minutes until the grains are well coated with oil.
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer until almost completely absorbed.
Gradually add the vegetable broth, one cup at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the liquid to be absorbed before adding the next cup. This process should take about 20-25 minutes until the rice is al dente and creamy.
Once the last addition of broth is almost absorbed, stir in the nutritional yeast and coconut cream. Mix well to combine.
Season the risotto with fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Remove from heat and let the risotto sit for a couple of minutes to thicken slightly.
Serve warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
