Vegan Broccoli Risotto

Cultural Context

Originating from Northern Italy, risotto is a creamy rice dish traditionally made with broth. The vegan version replaces dairy with nutritional yeast and vegetable broth, making it a comforting yet plant-based meal. Risotto is often served as a main course or side dish and is celebrated for its versatility. Today, variations like this broccoli risotto are enjoyed globally, appealing to both vegans and non-vegans alike.
