ARM WORKOUT RISOTTO
Prep time: Cook time: Total time:
herby, mushroomy, creamy, vegan, RISOTTO, which took forever to physically make, but was worth every bite. i recommend making this on a relaxing evening where you can sip on a glass of wine, call your mom or turn on your favorite TV show. definitely a dish made with love and eaten with patience and i say THAT because it’s worth every bite and i probably should have eaten this slower but hey, there’s always room for improvement, at least I got a good arm workout! Hope you all enjoy, save this one for the end of the week with friends or family.
Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp. kosher salt
- 6 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ large white onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups carnaroli rice
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 5 Tbsp. vegan butter or ghee
- 1 1/2 cups nutritional yeast
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
- 1. Bring 10 cups of water to a simmer with 10 Tbs. kosher salt. once water is simmering turn off and make sure water stays warm. In a separate dutch oven saute onion with the olive oil and pinch of salt until onion is completely soft. Next add rice and stir constantly so all rice is nicely toasted and tingling (about 5 minutes) Add wine and another pinch of salt. Bring to a simmer and cook while wine evaporates into rice.
- 2. Reduce heat to medium, then add warm salted water to rice in ¾-cup increments, stirring constantly and allowing liquid to absorb fully before adding more water. after 2-3 minutes you should be able to add another 3/4 cup water, continue stirring and keep adding 3/4 cups water every 2-3 minutes. until rice is al dente and surrounded by fluid 25–30 minute. make sure to try your rice 15 minutes in to be sure its not too mushy.
- 3. Remove pot from heat, add vegan butter and stir until melted. Gradually add nutritional yeast, stirring until liquid surrounding risotto is creamy but very fluid and meets your preference of texture. Add more water if needed. If you want the real cheese, go for it! Replace nutritional yeast with parmesan and vegan butter / ghee with the real stuff.
- 4. Saute mushrooms in garlic and thyme top on risotto and enjoy!
