This Creamy Vegan Mushroom & Sage Risotto is extremely simple to make with very few ingredients and the perfect comforting dinner night in or to share with family/friends for a dinner party.
It is absolutely packed full of flavour and I think it will really impress anyone that can have a “normal” risotto with dairy!
