Veggie Lovers Risotto Recipe :

Double the Recipe to Serve 4

• 3 1/2 - 4 cups Warm H20 or Veggie broth

• 2 Tbsp oil

• 1/2 Zucchini chopped

• 1/2 Cup Mushrooms chopped

• 1/2 Red Bell pepper chopped

• ~1/4 tsp each sea salt and black pepper

• 3/4 cup thinly sliced shallot

• 1 cup arborio rice us only HALF the rice

• 1/4 cup Veggie Broth (or white wine if you have it)

• 1/4 cup parmesan (can be made Vegan with Vegan Parm)

• H20 or Veggie Broth broth over medium heat.

  Method:

• In a medium saucepan, H20 or Veggie Broth broth over medium heat.

• Once simmering, reduce heat to low to keep warm.In the meantime, heat a large pan over medium heat.

• Once hot, add half of the Oil and Zucchini + Mushrooms + Bell Pepper

• Season with S&P (salt and pepper) and sauté until just tender and slightly browned - 3-4 minutes - stirring frequently. Cover to steam and speed cooking time. Remove from pan, uncover, and set aside.

• Heat another large rimmed pan over medium heat. Once hot, add remaining oil and shallot. Sauté for 1-2 minutes or until softened and very slightly browned.

• Add arborio rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.

• Then add more vegetable broth or white wine if you have it, and stir gently. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.Using a ladle, add warmed vegetable broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring almost constantly, giving the risotto little breaks to come back to a simmer. The heat should be medium, and there should always be a slight simmer. You want the mixture to be cooking but not boiling or it will get gummy and cook too fast.

• Continue to add vegetable broth 1 ladle at a time, stirring to incorporate, until the rice is "al dente" - cooked through but not mushy. This whole process should only take 15-20 minutes (may take longer if making a larger batch).

• Once the rice is cooked through and al dente, remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Also add vegan parmesan or Italian parmesan cheese and most of the cooked vegetables, reserving a few for serving.

• Plate Roothouse Lettuce for a Fresh Salad
