Mushroom & lemon risotto: A vegan delight for family dinner

Risotto, the special Italian rice dish you always see on fancy menus isn’t really that fancy but, it is always delicious. It’s not always served everywhere as it is a very hands-on dish to prepare but easier than you think. If you love vegan and vegetarian food, you’ll love our mushroom and lemon risotto with chilli. You can easily prepare the rice part of the risotto ahead of time if you have people over for dinner and serve them something great while chatting.

Mushroom & lemon risotto cooking

Risotto is known for being a hands-on dish because it’s about stirring, absorbing and more stirring. You might not even use all of the stock, but getting the rice to al dente consistency is all about taste. Use Italian arborio rice as it is the best for absorbing liquid. The chilli flakes don’t make the dish spicy, but adds a kick that lifts all of the other flavours. It’s a dish full of tender rice and mushrooms with beautiful vegetables for anybody following a vegan and vegetarian diet.

If you are planning a delicious vegan dinner or event, go Italian. Our mushroom & lemon risotto with chilli is an easy labour of love and flavour.
