Easy Allergy Friendly Mushroom Risotto

Hello again! Today I am making an easy allergy-friendly mushroom risotto! It is filling and creamy, even though it doesn't contain any cow's milk or cream! It is a really good recipe to share with your whole family. It is really scrumptious too! 

Here are the ingredients :

• 1 medium sized chopped onion 
• 1 glass of vegan white wine (Look on Barnivore for a list of vegan wines) This can be substituted for extra water, if you are making it for small children.
• 4oog of mushrooms - you can use any, or a mixture. We used white and chestnut mushrooms.
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 vegetable stock cube that is suitable for your needs
• Handful of chopped parsley
• 300g of Arborio rice
• 50g Vegan Cheese. We used Violife Prosociano, because it has the best flavour. 
• 2tsp olive oil
• 1 Litre of water

1. First, you need to get a large saucepan to use. You will need to have one with a lid on it. We like to use a glass lid so that you can see inside your saucepan.
2. Chop up your onion next.
3. Now, roughly chop all the mushrooms.
4. Then, you need to add 1 litre of boiling water to half the mushrooms in a jug. 
5. Next, add a stock cube and allow the mixture to sit for ten to fifteen minutes.
6. Now, you need to to chop the garlic and gently fry it with the onion in the oil until soft.
7. Add 300g of Arborio rice to the saucepan containing the garlic and onion, and pour in a glass of wine.
8. Wait until most of the wine has cooked off and then add a quarter of the mushroom stock and all of the remaining chopped mushrooms. Stir and keep the lid on.
9. Wait until the rice has absorbed most of the stock and then pour another quarter of the mushroom stock into the saucepan. Keep doing this until all the stock is used up.
10. You can grate your vegan cheese whilst you wait for the rice to cook.
11. Then add about 30g of your vegan cheese, a handful of parsley, and mix it all together..
12. Finally serve. You can sprinkle the remaining vegan cheese on top after you serve it, and add some vegetables on the side of your plate too.

I hope you enjoy your risotto!
