Vegan Smoked Gouda Risotto with Spinach and Mushrooms

This is good stuff.

Something about the smokiness of the gouda makes me think of autumn even though it’s like 100 degrees outside. I don’t care; I’m ready for it.

This risotto is positively decadent on it’s own so it really doesn’t need much on the side. You could totally just throw together a simple spinach salad, toast some garlic bread and be set.

Ingredients for Vegan Smoked Gouda Risotto with Spinach and Mushrooms:

  • vegan chicken broth – Better Than Bouillon makes a good one
  • vegan butter
  • shallot
  • Arborio rice
  • sea salt
  • dry white wine
  • baby spinach
  • vegan smoked Gouda – I use Follow Your Heart
  • cremini mushrooms
  • garlic
  • dried thyme
  • dried rosemary
  • ground black pepper
  • vegan Parmesan – I like Violife brand
  • fresh parsley
