Ingredients
- 10 cups mushroom broth Add more if necessary.
- 2 tablespoon olive oil, divided
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 3 cups baby bella mushrooms sliced (See Note)
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup arborio rice
- 1 cup Vegan Parmesan Cheese grated
- ½ cup fresh basil finely chopped
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
GARNISH
- finely chopped basil
- grated parmesan
- ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat the 10 cups of mushroom broth in a large saucepan and keepwarm. You can use vegetable broth if you can’t find mushroom broth, but knowthat you’ll lose much of the earthy mushroom flavor.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil (or 3 tablespoon broth) in a large skillet.When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms (they should sizzle) and sauté untilthey are nicely browned. NOTE: Don’t salt the mushrooms before they are brownedor they’ll lose most of their moisture and become tough.
- Add the 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning and salt and pepper to tasteto the mushrooms and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute and remove themushrooms from the heat and set aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil (or 3 tablespoon of broth SEENOTE) to a risotto pan, or a deep saucepan.
- When the oil is hot add the onions and cook until translucent.
- Add the Italian seasoning.
- Reduce the heat to low and add two cups of warm mushroom broth. Stir constantly until the broth evaporates, then add another cup of broth. Repeat this step, cup by cup, until the broth is gone. Be sure the heat is on a low setting (simmering) so the rice absorbs the liquid slowly. This step takes approximately 30 minutes.
- Add the 1 cup of rice and stir constantly until it begins toglisten and looks translucent, approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add ¾ of a cup of the warm mushroom broth and stir continuously untilthe liquid evaporates.
- Reduce the heat to low and continue to add ¾ of a cup of thewarm mushroom broth. Stir constantly until the broth evaporates, then addanother ¾ of a cup of broth. Repeat this step, until the broth is gone. Be surethe heat is on a low setting (simmering) so the rice absorbs the liquid slowly.This step takes approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
- Add half of the mushrooms, the 1 cup of grated vegan parmesan,and salt and pepper to taste, to the risotto and stir to combine.
- Spoon the risotto into bowls and top with the remainingmushrooms, grated parmesan, basil, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- NUTRITION DISCLAIMER
- We recommend Violife vegan parmesan cheese.
- Feel free to use white mushroom caps, large portobello mushrooms, or shiitake mushrooms. We prefer baby bella because of their size and flavor.
- You can use broth or water instead of oil to cook the vegetables. For best results, stir the rice into hot oil instead of broth.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat on the stove or in the microwave until heated through.
