I forgot where I found the inspiration for this dish, it wasn’t vegan. We fixed that of course. If you want the recipe for this stupendous treat, you might have to harass my husband on twitter. @stemartaen may be coerced into repeating this dish (bonus for me) and sharing it with the masses (bonus for you). Harassment, coercion, manipulation??? It just might work!

This post is by request.  I made risotto per the request (sensing a theme here) of my husband and he was so moved he tweeted about it.  There aren’t many things that my husband gets emotional about, but when he tweeted that this risotto, had him curled up in a fetal position from utter bliss, one of our readers/customers requested that I go public with this recipe.

There are no pictures because my camera is acting funny and the cost to have it fixed professionally is more than my rent, literally.

Oven Baked Risotto

2 tablespoons of olive oil

1 small onion chopped

2 cloves of garlic crushed

1 1/2 cups of arborio rice

4 cups of water (with 1 heaping tablespoon of Better than Bouillon no chicken base) stirred in

1.5 teaspoon salt

couple turns of fresh ground pepper

2 tablespoon of vegan margarine

1/2 cup of nutritional yeast

bunch of chopped fresh spinach or parsley or herb of your choice

2. In a dutch oven or oven proof pan, heat oil over medium high heat.

You see this? It’s homemade milk. No cows were involved. This milk is so simple and easy and the possibilities are endless. I eat it in smoothies, with cereal or in my homemade chai. It’s super healthy and if you choose to use sesame seeds like I do, then you will get an extra boost of calcium. I am going to show you how to make it. Let’s get started.

I made waffles. It’s serious… I’ve made waffles before, but they were never good. They were blah. I knew I could do better, I just didn’t know how. Sue Gregg has entered into my life and I am a changed woman. She has shown me the way. I was kind of skeptical at first. But, blender waffles are the ONLY way to do waffles. They must be done the Sue Gregg way and you will become a believer too!
