How to Make Avocado And Walnut Risotto

  1. Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the Arborio rice and stir for 1-2 minutes until the grains are lightly toasted.
  5. Pour in the white wine (if using) and let it absorb completely.
  6. Begin adding the hot vegetable broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly until each addition is absorbed before adding more. This process should take about 20-25 minutes.
  7. Stir in the mashed avocado, Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast), and butter (or vegan butter). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in the toasted walnuts and fresh parsley.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Avocado & Walnut Risotto!
