Preparation

Step 1


Heat the vegetable stock in a saucepan over low heat and keep warm.



Step 2


Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven. Sauté the reserved 1 cup mushrooms for 6–8 minutes until golden. Season and set aside.



Step 3


Add the onion to the same pan and cook for 4–5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.



Step 4


Add the remaining mushrooms and cook for 8–10 minutes until browned.



Step 5


Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 1–2 minutes.



Step 6


If using white wine, pour it in and stir until almost completely evaporated.



Step 7


Add the warm stock one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently and waiting until absorbed before adding more. Continue for 20–25 minutes.



Step 8


Remove from the heat and stir in the vegan butter. Season with salt and pepper.



Step 9


Rest for 2 minutes, then serve with reserved mushrooms and desired toppings.
