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.
