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!

- 1 red onion finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves crushed
- 500 g chestnut mushrooms roughly chopped
- 140 g frozen peas roughly 1 cup
- 2 tbsp dried sage

Method
-
Prep the red onion and crushed garlic
-
Heat a pan on a medium heat, add the olive oil, garlic, red onion and a pinch of pepper and fry for a minute or two
-
Meanwhile roughly chop the mushrooms and prepare the stock
-
Add the mushrooms and frozen peas to the pan along with the dried sage and cook down for a couple minutes until the mushrooms have softened
-
Now add the veg stock, coconut fat and rice and stir until combined
-
Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer placing the lid on the pan for 25 mins making sure to stir every 10 mins
-
Finally for an optional extra try stirring through 2 tbsp nutritional yeast at the end before serving for a cheesy taste!
Tips
You could always stir through spinach or even roasted butternut squash cubes if you wanted to add more colour and flavours.
