Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (0.5 l) vegan chicken stock
- 2 sticks celery
- 1 yellow onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 8 – 10 sage leaves
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) risotto rice
- 1 lemon
- 1 1/3 cup (300 grams) pumpkin puree
- 1/8 cup (30 grams) cashew butter
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- Pinch of black pepper
- Pine nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Place a saucepan over medium heat and add the stock.
- Finely chop the celery, onion and garlic.
- Place a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Once hot, add the sage leaves and allow to bake for 2-3 minutes or until crispy, flipping them halfway through.
- Remove the sage leaves from the pot and place on kitchen paper to soak up any excess oil.
- Reduce heat to low, to the same pan add the finely chopped vegetables.
- Sauté for 15 minutes until the vegetables are soft, stirring regularly and making sure not to brown them.
- Add the rice, turn up the heat to medium-high. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the rice starts to become translucent, stirring continuously.
- Add lemon juice to deglaze.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 2 ladles of the warm stock to the rice.
- Allow to cook until all the liquid has evaporated before adding 2 more ladles, stirring regularly. Repeat this process until the rice is cooked but still has a slight bite to it. This should take about 15 to 18 minutes.
- Add pumpkin puree, cashew butter, nutritional yeast and black pepper. Mix well and allow to cook for another 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, tear up the sage leaves in smaller pieces.
- Plate the risotto and sprinkle over the sage and (optional) pine nuts.
