Tomato Risotto

I never really liked risotto growing up, my mom would always order it in restaurants and offer me a bite but I would always decline. It wasn’t until I fell in love with arancini and I started making my own, and of course, the first step for arancini is a creamy risotto, that I feel in love with risotto, especially this tomato risotto, with a gentle cheesy taste, topped with vegan parmesan and fresh pepper.

Contrary to what you might believe, risotto is not that hard to make, it takes around 20 minutes and a few simple ingredients I am sure you already have at home, expect of course, Arborio rice. Make sure you take a trip to the store to get it, no other rice will work for this recipe. Other than that, make sure you have your vegan Parmesan cheese in hand, and if you cant find any, more nutritional yeast will work!
