Directions

Prep 10 minCook 30 min

1
Bring the vegetable broth and bay leaf to a bare simmer in a small saucepan and keep warm.
2
Finely chop the onion and cut the kernels from the corn cob; set both aside.
3
Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 2–3 minutes.
4
Stir in the Arborio rice and cook, stirring constantly, until the grains look slightly translucent at the edges, about 3 minutes.
5
Pour in the white wine and cook, stirring, until mostly absorbed, 1–2 minutes.
6
Ladle in about one-third of the warm broth and simmer, stirring frequently, until nearly absorbed.
7
Add another one-third of the broth and continue stirring until nearly absorbed.
8
Stir in the corn and peas with the remaining broth; remove and discard the bay leaf from the broth first.
9
Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice is tender and creamy, about 25 minutes total from the first broth addition (add a splash more hot water if needed).
10
Off the heat, stir in the nutritional yeast and vegan buttery spread. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
