Summary
Difficulty LevelEasyHealth IndexAverage
Ingredients
2 oz vegan butter I used earth balance but I talked about substitutes in the video
• 1 finely minced onion
• A bunch of Asparagus
• 1-2 clove minced garlic
• 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
• 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional)
• 7-8 cups vegetable broth (or water or better than chicken bouillon with water)
• 1/3 cup Nutritional yeast
Directions
Place broth in a large sauce pot and keep over low heat. and use a ladle to add liquids.
• Steam your asparagus and when cutting separate the tips then cut the rest into about 1” pieces
• Heat a sauté pan over medium high heat. Add vegan butter and sauté the onion until soft and translucent. Add garlic and sauté about 2 minutes. Stir in rice and sauté about 5 minutes.
• Add wine and let slowly cook down a couple minutes. Add your first ladle of veggie broth to the pan. Keep stirring continuously, adding a ladle at a time when the previous ladle of liquid cooks off.
• About more than half way through your liquids add the lower part of your asparagus spears and continue to add more liquid
• Once it gets close to the desired consistency add the spear tips and stir.
• After about 25 minutes. you want it to be soft, but still firm. Stir in the nutritional yeast and fresh cracked pepper.
• Note: if you only use water add some salt but if you use broth I think there’s enough salt in the broth
