Vegan Mushroom Risotto

This creamy vegan mushroom risotto is exactly what you need if you crave a delicious and comforting Italian recipe. Give it a try!

The Essential Italian Cookbook for Vegans
I recommend this cookbook!

Today’s recipe combines two of my favorite ingredients: rice and mushrooms. I was inspired by the traditional Italian risotto recipe, which is not originally vegan but can be easily veganized. I used nutritional yeast instead of Parmigiano and white wine for the perfect flavor! The result was just as I wanted, a creamy and easy to make vegan mushroom risotto!
