    Vegan Mushroom Risotto

    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, being a functional nutritionist, 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 such as my:

    • Cashew Mac & Cheese
    • Chipotle Queso
    • Tofu Green Bean Stir Fry

    I love sharing these recipes with others in case they're looking for the same thing.

    Vegan Mushroom Risotto

    A 10 Minute Vegan Risotto... Really?

    Yes... kind of. Okay maybe it's not exactly a traditional 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.

    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 risotto in no time as well.

    Meal Prep Tip: 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!

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil (or veg broth if you're not using oil)
    • ¼ onion chopped
    • 1 clove of garlic minced
    • 2 cups mushrooms (I used shiitake & oyster but feel free to use your favorites)
    • ½ cup vegetable broth divided in 2
    • 1 Tablespoon nutritional yeast
    • 1 Tablespoon tamari (or soy sauce if not gf)
    • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
    • 2 cups pre-cooked brown rice
    • ¼ cup plain hummus

    Toppings

    • parsley
    • Vegan Parmesan

    Instructions
     

    • Heat oil in large saute pan/pot, add onion and garlic and cook 3 minutes until onion is translucent. If using veggie broth instead of oil, add enough broth to just cover the bottom of the pan and add more if needed.
    • Add mushrooms and ¼ cup of veggie broth and cook until mushrooms are done (about 5 minutes).
    • Add another ¼ cup of veggie broth, nutritional yeast, tamari, and lemon juice and stir.
    • Add rice and cook for a few minutes until heated through.
    • Turn off heat and stir in hummus.
    • Top with fresh parsley and Vegan Parmesan

    Notes

    • Using pre-cooked rice will keep this recipe 10 minutes
    • I like to batch cook rice and use in recipes like this one as well as my Buffalo Chicken Rice Skillet and Healthy Kimchi Fried Rice
