There are a few Italian dishes I truly love, and risotto tops the list. Its versatility makes it a standout—whether vegan, vegetarian, or served with meat, it’s always a satisfying meal.
Originating from Milan, Italy—a city renowned for fashion, opera, and exceptional cuisine—risotto has become a beloved dish worldwide.
In this recipe, I’ve created a vegan version that skips the traditional chicken broth, butter, and parmesan, yet remains every bit as flavorful. I’ve proudly served it to friends on vegan, paleo, and keto diets, and it’s always received rave reviews!
