Here’s my dreamy, go-to mushroom risotto recipe, which happens to be naturally vegan. I recommend using arborio rice, because the starch that is released during cooking is what makes risotto so creamy.

Servings
Ingredients
Grain
- 1/2 cup arborio rice, dry, 4 oz
Veggies
- 4 oz onion, shallots, or leeks, diced
- 1 lb in-season mushrooms, shredded or sliced (I love oysters, chanterelles, criminis, or maitakes)
Fat
- 4 Tbsp olive oil or butter, 2 oz
Seasonings
- 1.5 cups veggie broth
- 1/2 cup red or white wine
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried tarragon or other Italian herbs
- A few grinds of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce, or tamari for gluten free
- 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast, or grated parmesan if not vegan
- Fresh chopped herbs to garnish, thyme, marjoram, sage, etc.
Instructions
- In a large skillet, sauté the mushrooms until well browned in 2 Tbsp of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In the same pan, sauté the leeks in the rest of the oil until translucent. Add the wine and rice.
- Heat the vegetable stock in a separate saucepan.
- Stir hot vegetable stock into the rice, 1/2 cup at a time until absorbed, for about 20-25 minutes or until cooked.
- Stir in mushrooms and seasonings.
- Salt if needed, depending on the salt content of the vegetable broth you used.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and enjoy!
