Mushroom Risotto
Risotto is an Italian rice dish, cooked in creamy broth. The broth may be meat or fish-based, but can also be vegetable-based. It is one of the most common rice dishes in Italy and is normally a primo (first course).
Many risottos include [vegan] parmesan cheese, butter [vegan margarine] and onion. A high-starch, round medium- or short- grain rice is usually used to make risotto because they absorb liquids and release starch, making them stickier than long grain rices.
Ingredients
2 Tbsp vegan margarine 1 cup brown rice 1 chopped tomato 1 small onion chopped 2 cups sliced mushrooms 1¼ cup vegetable stock ½ cup red wine 1 cup peas Salt and pepper to taste

- Melt the margarine in a pot and add the rice, onion and mushrooms. Brown for about 2 minutes and then add the tomato and brown for a further 8 minutes.

- Towards the end, add the frozen peas and cook until done.
