Description
Discover the best method to make creamy vegan mushroom risotto with simple steps rich flavors and perfect texture for a plantbased meal
Ingredients
1 ½ cups Arborio rice
12 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
4 cups warm vegetable broth
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup white wine (optional)
½ cup full-fat coconut milk
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste
Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large pan over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add sliced mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cook until mushrooms release their moisture and turn golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- Push mushrooms to the side of the pan. Add remaining olive oil and add the chopped onions. Sauté until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add Arborio rice to the pan and stir to coat in the oils and aromatics. Cook for about 2 minutes until you notice a faint nutty aroma.
- Pour in white wine (if using) and stir constantly until almost fully absorbed.
- Start adding warm vegetable broth one ladle at a time, stirring gently and allowing liquid to be almost fully absorbed before adding the next ladle. Continue for 20-25 minutes until risotto is tender and creamy but still slightly firm.
- Stir in coconut milk, nutritional yeast, and fresh thyme. Taste and season with salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
- Spoon into warm bowls and serve immediately for the creamiest texture.
