CREAMY VEGETABLE RISOTTO (30 MINUTES!)

Among these dishes was a vegetable risotto that the restaurant managed to produce vegan-friendly by omitting butter and the cheese. Perchance a sin in making risotto, however they obliged. 1 bite recipe and in inspiration has been born.

It begins with new veggies sautéed until tender. We travelled with broccolini, bell pepper, and asparagus, but proceed with whatever is available and in season for you.

Simply put in the veggies along with your parmesan cheese and you are all set! It is that simple.

A more healthy take with no butter or oil on risotto, substituting cheese. Contains lots of vegetables for nutrition and fiber. A simple 30-minute recipe ideal like a side or an entrée.
