Thanks Dan, I’m glad you like it. You’re right about the risotto rice being creamy enough without the spread, but I grew up with my father always adding cream or cheese, and in my mind the best way to add that extra creaminess was from the vegan spread. I make this all the time too! It’s so easy and hits the spot after a long day.

I made this recipe and it is great. The creaminess of risotto comes from the starches in the rice, so I never add any cream or vegan substitute. Same with paella. If you skip the part about vegan spread. risotto will be creamy if you cook it just how it’s said above with out the spread. I also skipped the sugar, but that has nothing to do with the creaminess. This is my girlfriends favorite risotto recipe I’ve made and she talks about it constantly.

Gorgeous Risotto, Dia. You have such a way of tantalizing my vegan senses. Someday, perhaps:)

Thank you for sharing. Wishing you a Happy, Safe and Healthy New Year!!!

It is only going to get colder apparently, and more snow too. Weird winter for this area.
Thanks guys for commenting!

I just tried this ! It is a great, warming meal, spicy but not too hot. I added mushrooms, and obviously you can put whatever you like in it and vary the heat by increasing or reducing the spices. I recommend this !
