How to Prepare Artichoke and Spinach Risotto With Lemon Cashew Cream [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Heat vegan butter and oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds.
Add snap peas and rice. Let rice start to toast and brown slightly. Add wine to deglaze pan.
Add stock 1/2 cup at a time, stirring often, until all is absorbed and rice is cooked. About halfway through cooking, add artichoke hearts and spinach so they cook into the rice slightly.
Combine cashews, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup broth in a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth.
Once rice is done, add cashew cream, slowly stirring it in. Add sea salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast. Let simmer to combine.
Top with parsley and serve.
