Spring Pea Mushroom Risotto (vegan, gluten-free)

Yields4 ServingsPrep Time5 minsCook Time35 minsTotal Time40 mins

Creamy mushroom risotto with spring peas and microgreens— lighter than traditional risotto but just as delicious and comforting.

 4 cups (950mL) vegetable broth
 1 tbsp olive oil (omit if oil-free)
 8 oz (226g) bella or white mushrooms, sliced
 ½ a large yellow onion (3/4 cup), chopped
 1 cup (197g) arborio rice
 ¼ cup (60mL) white wine*
 1 cup (150g) green peas (thawed, if using frozen)
 ¼ cup (33g) vegan parmesan**
1

In a small pot, heat broth to simmering and then keep on low heat.

2

In a separate saucepan, sauté mushrooms in olive oil with a bit of salt and pepper for 3-4 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. Add onions to pan and sauté for 2 minutes until translucent and fragrant.

3

Add in arborio rice and stir for a minute until coated, then add in white wine and stir for another few minutes until it is absorbed.

4

Begin to add the broth from the small pot to the rice, a ladleful at a time, stirring constantly. Keep the pot at a simmer on medium heat and add in the rest of the liquid slowly, stirring each time until incorporated— this should take about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through.

5

Remove pan from heat and stir in cooked mushrooms, peas, and vegan parmesan. Serve immediately, topped with extra mushrooms and fresh pea shoots or microgreens for garnish.
