Ingredients for Plant Based Creamy Mushroom Risotto:

• 1 lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced (any type you like)
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
• 1/4 cup vegan butter
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions Plant Based Creamy Mushroom Risotto:

• To preheat the olive oil, place it in a large Dutch oven or skillet and set the heat to medium. After adding the sliced mushrooms, continue cooking them for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until they start to brown and release their juice. Take the mushrooms out of the pan and put them in a separate bowl.
• Sauté the chopped onion and garlic in the same pan for a few minutes, until the onion and garlic have become more pliable.
• After adding the Arborio rice to the pan, give it a swirl to ensure that it is coated with the onion and garlic. Cook the rice for a few minutes while stirring it frequently until it begins to take on a translucent appearance.
• After adding the white wine, continue to toss the mixture until all of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice.
• When adding the vegetable broth, do so one cup at a time, swirling the mixture frequently and waiting until each cup has been completely absorbed before moving on to the next.
• When the rice is finished cooking and all of the liquid has been absorbed, add the nutritional yeast and vegan butter and mix until everything is evenly distributed.
• After adding the cooked mushrooms, give everything a good toss to mix.
• Salt and pepper can be added to taste as a seasoning.

To serve, bring to a boil and top with chopped fresh parsley or even more freshy sautéed mushrooms and onions.
