ABOUT Black Rice Risotto (Italian with a twist - Vegan recipe) RECIPE

This risotto is unlike the traditional variety that calls for the use of wine and cheese. I added a touch of vinegar to get that acidity and used some almond milk towards the end for that creamy texture. Cooked it in a open shallow pan by adding just enough liquid at regular intervals. And loved the way it turned out. Nice, rich, creamy and nutty.
