The first recipe we are going to make
is an easy mushroom risotto,
and the second is a Spanish rice.
They are both delicious on their own
and also make a really great side.
And I find that risotto is always the
one thing on the menu that
they have for vegetarians,
and a lot of the time
they can make it vegan
by just taking the cheese off.
So I wanna know, what's the
best risotto you've ever had.
Where did you have it?
Leave me a comment in the
comments section below.
What type of risotto do you like?
Do you like risotto?
I love risotto.
James, do you love risotto?
- [James] Yeah!
- Can you say that with more enthusiasm?
James, do you love risotto?
- [James] Of course I love risotto!
Who doesn't love
- Dogs, do you love risotto?
(dogs barking)
I do plan on giving them
a taste of this risotto.
Alright, the first thing we
are going to do is dissolve
two no chicken bouillon
cubes in four cups of water.
You can also use vegetable
bouillon cubes or broth as well,
but I just really love
the Better Than Bouillon
no chicken bouillon, it's so good.
Then we're gonna take
dried porcini mushrooms
and we're gonna put that
in the microwave for
three to five minutes until
the broth starts to bubble.
If you can't find dried porcini mushrooms
just leave the step out of the recipe.
It adds something really
nice and really does
finish off the recipe
but if you can't find it
then don't fret you can still
make this without that step.
Once the broth has simmered
take it out of the microwave
and set it aside.
We are going to leave this
while we prep the rest
of the recipe just so
that the broth really gets
that really nice porcini mushroom flavor.
In the Bolivar Instant
Pot we are gonna heat
up 2 tablespoons of olive
oil and a quarter cup
of vegan butter.
I use Earth Balance but you can use Melt
or there's lots of non
hydrogenated margarine
that's accidentally vegan,
it's really up to you.
Having our butter and olive
oils hot we are going to add
a pound of mixed mushrooms and if you only
have cremini mushrooms just use that.
If you like button
mushrooms just use that.
I found a nice bistro blend at the store
and it's cremini, shataki
and oyster and I think
that that is a beautiful combination.
We're gonna cook that for
about eight to ten minutes
or until the mushrooms are nice and brown.
Season those mushrooms with
a pinch of salt and pepper.
And then we are gonna
add one chopped onion,
two cloves of garlic, the
chopped porcini mushrooms
from the broth, preserve the broth.
Cook that for about three to five minutes
until the onions are translucent.
Now we are going to add the rice.
Use a risotto style rice like arborio,
I don't know if that's
pronounced correctly that way
but we're gonna call it arborio rice.
I am adding one and half cups.
And we are going to cook that
until the rice is toasted.
Now you don't want it to be brown
you just want it to be toasted.
So just cook that stirring constantly
for about three to five minutes.
We're adding one tablespoon of soy sauce
and one tablespoon of white miso paste.
I find that these umami
flavors really, really
draw out the really yummy mushroom flavor.
If you don't have them you
could just leave them out.
Now we are going to add
three quarter cups of wine.
(Man laughing)
Well that's embarrassing.
Cook that for about two to three minutes
or until the alcohol has evaporated.
Okay the broth we set
aside earlier we are now
going to add that to the instant pot
and give that a good stir.
You wanna make sure that the
rice is completely covered
with broth and that there's
nothing sticking to the
bottom of your instant pot.
Now just pop on that lid
close that pressure valve
and pressure cook that for five minutes.
Once your risotto has pressure
cooked for five minutes
quick release just by
opening the pressure valve
and give that risotto a good stir.
So you wanna stir that until
it becomes nice and creamy.
Now this part is completely optional but I
think it adds an extra
wonderful velvety creamy
flavor to the risotto.
I like to add anywhere
between two tablespoons
and a quarter cup of creamer.
You can use soy creamer
or cashew cream either
one of those works really well.
As well as a quarter
cup of vegan Parmesan.
I'm using the Earth Island brand today
because it's my absolute favorite.
And then sprinkle on some parsley,
I like to use about a handful.
Just give that a big good stir.
- [Man] A big good stir?
- I have the biggest words the best words,
I got all the words.
Just give that a stir and
you are ready to serve.
To serve this guy you just
wanna throw that on a plate.
Just slop it on.
- [Man] Just slop it on.
- Sprinkle it with some
additional vegan parm
as well as some parsley
and you are good to go.
(upbeat swing music)
And mwah you got this delicious
vegan mushroom risotto.
Mmm and this is why we don't
go out to eat very often.
Because it's just better when
you have vegan parm at home.
Totally you could throw this on its own
or as a side it's so
good mwam, mwam, mwam.
Recipe number two is a spanish rice.
This is a really, really,
really delicious side dish.
You can also eat it on its own
but I love to have it
next to some grilled tofu
or veggie sausage and
it's delicious served
with the garlic aioli
from my new cookbook.
Which if you haven't picked
it up yet you totally should.
So you could get the recipe
for the aioli in there.
And that's all I have to
say about spanish rice.
Let's cook!
Hit the saute button on your Instant Pot
and heat up one tablespoon of olive oil.
Add one small chopped
onion, two cloves of garlic.
Half a red pepper, half a yellow pepper
and half a green pepper
all chopped or diced.
Either one whatever works for you.
And then just cook that until they're soft
about three to five minutes.
Then we're gonna add in two cups of broth,
one can of tomato paste, a
quarter teaspoon of cumin.
And half of a teaspoon of chili powder
we're gonna mix that all together.
Now we're going to add one and a half cups
of rinsed rice.
So you could use just normal white rice,
just make sure that you rinse it first.
Give that a good stir and
then we are going to add
one chopped tomato just
on top of the rice.
Now you don't wanna mix
the tomato into the rice
because tomato tends to burn on the sides
and the bottoms of the Instant Pot.
And then you can't get the pressure cooker
to get to the right amount of pressure
because it will say burn
and then it will shut off.
Now just add your lid,
close the pressure valve.
And we're gonna pressure
cook that for 10 minutes.
Instead of opening the
pressure valve right away
when your machine beeps you actually
want it to sit there
for another 10 minutes.
You really want that steam
to help cook that rice
so let it sit for 10
minutes to let the pressure
release naturally and then
you can open the rice.
Take off the lid and fluff it with a fork
and you are good to go.
You can serve it with a
nice dollop of garlic aioli.
Again from the Edgy Veg cookbook
there's a recipe in there.
If you don't have one at home of your own.
And serve that next to
whatever vegan protein
that you want.
I like sausages or hot
dogs or grilled tofu,
fried tofu, whatever your heart desires.
(upbeat swing music)
All right guys there you have
it delicious spanish rice
Mmmm!
- Thanks!
- This is actually based
off of one of James'
family recipes.
So if you really like
this recipe I just took
credit for making it vegan but the actual
concept came from this guy over here.
- And you know that
it's gonna be super good
'cause it's carnivore
free, I love this recipe.
To make it right now, you can pause this
and just go and make it.
- Or you can re watch it and make it.
- That too.
