Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Arborio rice
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
• 5 cups Vegetable broth, soy-free
• 1 cup Canned crushed tomatoes
• 0.5 cup White wine (optional)
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, warm the vegetable broth over low heat. Keep it warm but not boiling throughout the cooking process.

Step 2

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the finely diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until it becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the Arborio rice to the skillet and stir to coat the grains with oil. Toast the rice for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the edges of the grains become slightly translucent.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine (if using) and stir continuously until the liquid is mostly absorbed.

Step 6

Add the crushed tomatoes to the rice and mix well.

Step 7

Begin adding the warm vegetable broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until each ladle of broth is mostly absorbed before adding the next. Continue this process for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is creamy and cooked al dente.

Step 8

Once the rice is cooked, turn off the heat. Stir in the nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh basil and parsley before serving for an added burst of flavor and freshness.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your soy-free tomato risotto!
