Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
For the risotto:
- 1 250g white onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- pinch sea salt
- 1 ½ cup 300g arborio rice
- 5 cups 1.2 L vegetable broth

For the balsamic mushrooms:

Instructions
- Dice onion and garlic and add to a large pot with coconut oil and sea salt. Bring to medium heat and cook stirring often, until onion turns translucent (approx. 10 mins).
- Pour in arborio rice and toast until grains become lightly perfumed (2-3 mins). Then pour in vegetable broth, starting with 2 cups, and adding more in splashes as it thickens, (I used 5 cups total). Cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring often until risotto is desired texture, (soft and pleasantly chewy). Add nutritional yeast and stir to combine.
- While risotto is cooking, cook your balsamic mushrooms. Slice mushrooms and add to a skillet with coconut oil and sea salt. Bring to medium heat. Cook mushrooms (approx. 10 mins). Then reduce heat to low and add balsamic vinegar, cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add balsamic mushrooms to cooked risotto. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and stir to combine. Serve risotto in bowls.
