This Easy Vegan Mushroom Risotto saves so much time by using pre-cooked rice and creamy hummus. It’s an easy and healthy meal when you need dinner on the table fast.

I’ll be honest with you, I’ve never been that into cooking.

Are you now thinking “girl, then what are you doing with site sharing vegan recipes?”. Well, I realized the only way to stay healthy is to cook for myself most of the time.

Home Cooking, Healthy Cooking

By cooking most of my own meals, I know exactly what’s going into them. Don’t get me wrong, if a fabulous chef decided she/he wanted to cook healthy and delicious vegan food for me daily, I’d be all over it but that’s not going to happen so I do it for myself.

Lucky for me, I enjoy finding fun, healthier, and easier ways to create some of my old pre-vegan favorites. I also love sharing these recipes with others in case they’re looking for the same thing.

A 10 Minute Risotto… Really?

Yes… kind of. Okay maybe it’s not exactly risotto but my dish is creamy and tasty and I bet if you told people you cooked this risotto for an hour they would probably believe you.

I usually don’t have an hour to keep an eye on risotto like you would traditionally do so I came up with a little hack to mimic the creaminess of risotto using hummus at the very end.

Easy Vegan Mushroom Risotto

I know! How awesome is hummus? I’ve been doing this for years and realized I need to share this with you so you can have some tasty easy vegan mushroom risotto in no time as well.

If you’ve read my Vegan Meal Planning post, you know I pre-cook the rice at the beginning of the week so all I have to do is cook up some onion and mushrooms, heat up the rice and add some hummus and I have a yummy and healthy meal on the table in 10 minutes!
