So, how in the world are we making risotto, a dish traditionally known for being slow, so fast?

We’re using the microwave.

That’s right. You heard me.

Because sometimes you just don’t have a lot of time and the people are hungry.

Ingredients for Easy Vegan Parmesan Risotto:

  • yellow onion
  • vegan butter
  • garlic
  • vegan chicken broth – Better Than Bouillon’s No-Chicken Base is a good one

How to make Easy Vegan Parmesan Risotto:

Start with the aromatics. Into a medium-size microwave-safe bowl, add onion, butter, and garlic. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 3 minutes.
Heat the broth. Into a glass measuring cup or small bowl, add the broth. Cook on high just until heated but not boiling, about 2 – 2 1/2 minutes.
Add the rice and broth to the onion mixture. Cover and cook, covered, on high for 6 minutes.
Stir in white wine then replace the lid. Continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes.
Stir in parmesan cheese and peas.
Garnish. Grind black pepper over the top and serve warm.

Enjoy!
