Violettes Risotto mit Pilzen

1. Prepare your vegetables: Chop onion and garlic into very small pieces. Chop mushrooms and carrot in small pieces. Set aside.

2. Prepare vegetable broth by adding the vegetable stock to the water. Fry onion and garlic in 2 tbsp olive oil. Add the risotto rice and a bit of the vegetable broth. Stir constantly.

3. Add the chopped carrot and about half the fresh mushrooms and mix well. Gradually add more vegetable broth and stir well. You do not want the rice to be swimming in too much water. Depending on whether you add more or less water, the amount of water that evaporates will vary, so you might need a bit more water than indicated. Total cooking time is about 20 minutes. Cooked risotto should be al dente — that is, fully cooked, yet still somewhat firm to the bite.

4. In the meantime, fry the rest of the mushrooms in 1 tbsp olive oil for about 4 minutes.

5. Once the rice reaches the perfect consistency, add nutritional yeast flakes and spinach and simmer for another 1-2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve with fried mushrooms on top.
