• 1/4 cup (30g) dried porcini mushrooms, soaked in hot water for 30 minutes
• 1 1/2 cups (300g) Arborio rice
• 4 cups (1L) hot vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup (125ml) unsweetened plant-based milk
• 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast

1. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
2. Embrace the Mushroom Medley: Add fresh mushrooms and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Strain the soaked porcini mushrooms, reserving the soaking liquid. Add chopped porcini to the pan and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
