## Content

Ingredients: 1 cup risotto rice (arborio, carnaroli, or any short-grain rice available) 1 tbsp olive oil 1 cup dried shiitake mushrooms (rinsed, soaked, and drained) ½ cup white button mushrooms, thinly sliced 2 garlic cloves, minced ¼ cup shallot or onion, finely chopped ½ cup dry white wine 3 cups mushroom broth (hot, kept warm in a saucepan) ⅓ cup unsweetened soy milk 2 tsp nutritional yeast ½ tsp dried thyme ½ tsp dried rosemary 1 tsp soy sauce 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped Juice of ½ lime Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Instructions: 1. Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots (or onion) and garlic, and sauté for about 2 minutes until softened. 2. Add the mushrooms, thyme, and rosemary. Cook until golden and slightly browned, about 4-5 minutes. 3. Add the risotto rice to the pan and stir for 1-2 minutes until well coated in oil and lightly toasted. 4. Pour in the white wine and stir until mostly absorbed. 5. Add the mushroom broth, one ladle (about ½ cup) at a time, stirring frequently and letting the liquid absorb before adding the next ladle. Continue until the rice is tender and creamy, about 15-18 minutes. You may not need all the broth. 6. Stir in the unsweetened soy milk, nutritional yeast, and soy sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes to bring everything together. 7. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add the juice of ½ lime and stir in the chopped parsley. Enjoy!

It’s renowned for its creamy texture achieved by patiently stirring starchy short-grain rice with broth. Arborio and carnaroli are popular varieties, but any short-grain rice will do if these aren’t accessible. The key is patience as risotto invites you to slow down, stir gently, and let the ingredients shine. A squeeze of lime in this plant-based twist adds brightness, while soy milk and nutritional yeast create the creaminess without dairy.
