Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine optional but highly recommended
  • 4 cups vegetable broth kept warm
  • 2 cups mushrooms sliced (cremini, shiitake, or a mix)
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast for cheesy flair
  • 1 tbsp vegan butter optional but divine
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp truffle oil don’t overdo it, diva
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional, but she’s pretty

Method
 

  1. Sauté aromatics: Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sauté onion for 3–4 minutes until soft. Add garlic and stir for 1 minute.
  2. Toast rice: Add Arborio rice and cook for 2 minutes until edges look translucent. Pour in wine and stir until absorbed.
  3. Cook risotto: Add warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring until each addition is absorbed. Repeat for 20–25 minutes.
  4. Add mushrooms: Stir in sliced mushrooms halfway through cooking. Let them soak up that flavor and melt into the mix.
  5. Finish it: Once rice is creamy and tender, stir in nutritional yeast, vegan butter, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
  6. Truffle time: Drizzle truffle oil over risotto like you're on Top Chef. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Tips for Serving This Fancy Vegan Mood

  • Use wild mushrooms if you're feeling bougie and possibly foraging-curious.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice to brighten up the richness.
  • Stir constantly—this is not the time for multitasking or texting your ex.
  • Pair with a glass of wine and a dramatic playlist.
  • Leftovers? Heat gently with a splash of broth—she’s still elegant the next day.
Risotto never looked so glamorous—or so unapologetically plant-based.
