Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 20 ounces mixed mushrooms (sliced or torn)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 large leeks (diced)
  • 6 to 8 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups Carnaroli or Arborio rice
  • 2/3 cup dry white grape juice
  • Fresh thyme leaves
  • Garlic cloves

Instructions

  1. Cream together softened vegan butter and white miso paste until smooth.
  2. Heat vegetable broth in a saucepan, keeping it warm.
  3. In a frying pan, cook mixed mushrooms in olive oil until browned. Add thyme and half the garlic; sauté until fragrant.
  4. In a Dutch oven, heat remaining olive oil. Sauté leeks and remaining garlic until softened.
  5. Stir in rice until coated and slightly toasted. Deglaze with grape juice, allowing it to almost evaporate.
  6. Gradually add warm vegetable broth, stirring frequently until absorbed before adding more.
  7. After about 20 minutes, test rice for doneness; it should be creamy and al dente.
  8. Fold in sautéed mushrooms, adjust seasoning, and serve garnished with chopped parsley.
