SWEET OVEN-BAKED RISOTTO (VEGAN)

Sweet Oven-Baked Risotto (Vegan) image

This is a spin on my oven-baked risotto (Recipe #448053). This vegan version of rice pudding is easy to prepare and comes out thick and creamy just how I like it. If you prefer a thinner version, feel free to add more liquid. I think this a very versatile recipe and I plan to try it with different add-ins (e.g. nuts, fruit, chocolate, carob powder...). That said, I really like the plain version, too.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the risotto will be. Choose short-grain rice, such as Arborio or Carnaroli, and use a flavorful vegetable broth.
Toast the rice: Toasting the rice before adding the liquid helps to develop its flavor and prevent it from sticking together.
Add liquid gradually: Add the liquid to the rice in small increments, stirring constantly. This helps the rice to absorb the liquid evenly and prevents it from becoming mushy.
Cook the risotto until it is creamy and al dente: The risotto should be cooked until it is creamy and al dente, with a slight bite to it. This usually takes about 18-20 minutes.
Stir in the vegetables and cheese: Once the risotto is cooked, stir in the vegetables, such as mushrooms, peas, or asparagus, and the cheese. This adds flavor and texture to the risotto.
Serve immediately: Risotto is best served immediately after it is cooked. It can be garnished with fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil.

Conclusion:

This recipe is a delicious and easy way to make a vegan sweet oven-baked risotto. The risotto is creamy and flavorful, and the roasted vegetables add a delightful touch. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal.
