Instructions

 

• In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until they become translucent.
• Stir in the Arborio rice, toasting it lightly until it’s just starting to become golden.
• Gradually add 1 cup of warm vegetable broth, stirring continuously. Allow the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more.
• Add the sliced mushrooms to the pot, and continue to stir.
• Continue to add the broth, one cup at a time, followed by the cup of water. Maintain a gentle simmer and keep stirring to prevent sticking.
• Once the rice is tender and has a creamy consistency, remove from heat.
• Mix in the nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor, and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
• If desired, add a tablespoon of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
• Serve hot and garnish with the chopped fresh parsley.
