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!
Give it a try and let me know what you think.

This was absolutely delicious! I have made it several times, and it very popular with my family (mostly meat eaters, and they don’t even notice it’s vegan!). The recipe makes way more than 4 servings, I normally get 6-8 depending on how large we do the servings.
That’s awesome Rachel, so pleased the whole family enjoyed it 🙂
