How to Prepare Eggplant Ragout With Risotto [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Melt 1 T vegan butter, and add diced veggies. Saute until softened, about 5-8 minutes.
Season with salt, pepper, parsley, and oregano, and stir.
Add wine, bringing it to a low boil. Reduce heat and let simmer until wine reduces by half.
While veggies cook, melt 1 T vegan butter in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Add onion, and let cook for a few minutes until translucent.
Add rice and toast for 3-5 minutes.
Add wine and let cook down. When most of the wine is absorbed, add the vegetable stock 1/2 – 1 c at a time, stirring frequently. Let the rice absorb the liquid before adding the next cup of stock. This should take about 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
Once all stock is used, and rice is creamy and soft, add salt, pepper, and nutritional yeast. Let cook for a few more minutes, until all flavors are melded together. Stir in final tablespoon of vegan butter for extra creaminess.
Once wine is reduced, stir in remaining tablespoon of vegan butter to the eggplant mixture.
Serve the risotto in bowls, topped with the eggplant ragout.
