Delicious Vegan Risotto with Sun-Dried Tomatoes

A bowl of creamy sun-dried tomato risotto garnished with basil, served with a wooden spoon.

This risotto features Arborio rice cooked slowly in vegetable broth, infused with sun-dried tomatoes and finished with a creamy vegan cheese alternative. The dish takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth: In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth and keep it warm over low heat.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Cook the Rice: Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir for 1-2 minutes until the rice is slightly toasted.
  4. Add Broth Gradually: Begin adding the warm vegetable broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until the liquid is mostly absorbed before adding more broth. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is creamy and al dente.
  5. Incorporate Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and nutritional yeast, mixing well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh basil if desired, and serve warm.
