Note

For best risotto texture, use Arborio, Carnaroli, or Vialone Nano rice. Stirring frequently releases the starch that creates the creamy consistency.

If Creole tomatoes are unavailable, Roma or beefsteak tomatoes work well for roasting.

Keep the broth warm on the stove while cooking the risotto; adding cold broth will slow down the cooking process and affect the texture.

For a richer flavor, sauté the mushrooms in a mix of olive oil and vegan butter.

Risotto is best served immediately as it thickens as it cools. If reheating, add a splash of warm broth or water to loosen the consistency.
