One Pot Vegan Mushroom Risotto

Ingredients:

• 6 oz Arborio rice (about ¾ of a cup)
• ¼ cup Earth Balance vegan butter (or sub olive oil), divided
• ½ a red onion
• 4 oz shitake mushrooms, sliced
• ¼ cup dry white wine of your choice
• 2 cups vegetable broth, warm
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. In a deep medium sized saucepan, heat half of your butter/oil over medium heat
2. Once melted, add the chopped onion and stir until fragrant and almost translucent, about 3-4 minutes
3. Add the shitakes and continue stirring for another 3-5 minutes
4. Pour in Arborio rice and continue to stir until the rice is semi-transparent
5. Working slowly, add increments of the wine, stirring until all the liquid is absorbed
6. At this point, stir in half of your remaining butter
7. Add 1 cup of the broth and continue stirring until all the liquid is absorbed
8. Add the other cup and stir continuously
9. When there is very little liquid remaining (but not quite dry), add the last of your butter and season with salt and pepper to taste
10. Let stand off heat and covered for two minutes, then stir and serve
