Plant-Based Mushroom Risotto
  1. 1

    Pour the vegetable stock into a large pot and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and keep it warm.

  2. 2

    Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the celery and garlic, and cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the Arborio rice to the Dutch oven. Cook, stirring often, until the rice is opaque and smells slightly toasted, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in the white wine; cook until it evaporates, an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.

  4. 4

    Begin stirring in the reserved warm vegetable stock, one cup at a time; let each addition be fully absorbed before adding the next, stirring continuously. Continue adding the broth gradually, stirring constantly, until the rice is tender and creamy, about 20 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
