Risotto:

IngredientAmount

Olive oil	2 tbsp
Onion (finely chopped)	1
Garlic (minced)	3 cloves
Arborio rice	300g
White wine	150ml
Vegetable broth	1 liter
Mixed mushrooms (shiitake, button, etc.)	300g
Vegan butter	2 tbsp
Vegan Parmesan cheese	50g
Fresh parsley (chopped)	2 tbsp
Salt and pepper	To taste

Instructions

Prepare the Mushrooms:

1. Clean and Slice the Mushrooms:
   • Wash the mixed mushrooms and slice them thinly. The variety of textures will enhance the risotto's flavor.

Prepare the Broth:

1. Heat the Broth:
   • Warm the vegetable broth over medium heat. Keeping the broth hot ensures the rice cooks evenly.

Prepare the Risotto Base:

1. Heat Olive Oil:
   • In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Onion:
   • Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it softens.
3. Add Garlic and Rice:
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Then, add the Arborio rice and cook for about 2 minutes until the rice becomes translucent.

Add White Wine:

1. Deglaze with Wine:
   • Pour in the white wine and cook until the alcohol evaporates and the wine is absorbed by the rice.

Add the Broth:

1. Gradual Addition of Broth:
   • Add one ladle of hot vegetable broth to the pan. Stir frequently until the broth is absorbed by the rice. Repeat this process, adding one ladle at a time, for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and tender.

Prepare the Mushrooms:

1. Cook the Mushrooms:
   • In a separate pan, melt the vegan butter and add the sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and browned.

Combine and Finish:

1. Mix in the Mushrooms:
   • Add the cooked mushrooms to the risotto and stir well to combine.
2. Add Cheese and Season:
   • Stir in the vegan Parmesan cheese and mix until the risotto is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Garnish:
   • Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Additional Tips

1. Variety of Mushrooms:
   • Using a mix of mushrooms like shiitake, button, and cremini will provide a range of textures and flavors.
2. Vegan Cheese:
   • Feel free to use other vegan cheeses to adjust the texture and flavor to your liking.
3. White Wine Substitute:
   • If you prefer not to use white wine, you can replace it with additional vegetable broth.
4. Creamy Texture:
   • The key to a creamy risotto is to slowly add the broth and continuously stir, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid gradually.
5. Herb Enhancements:
   • Adding herbs like thyme or rosemary can deepen the flavor profile.
