    Spring Pea Mushroom Risotto

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

    Yields4 Servings
    Prep Time5 minsCook Time35 minsTotal Time40 mins

     4 cups (950mL) vegetable broth
     1 tablespoon olive oil (omit if oil-free)
     8 oz (226g) bella or white mushrooms, sliced
     ½ a large yellow onion (¾ 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.

    Notes

    • *You can substitute more vegetable broth for the wine.
    • **I use Minimalist Baker's recipe to make vegan parmesan.
