How to Prepare Red Pepper Risotto [Vegan]
- The night before, wash the rice well soak for 12-24 hours. This step is not mandatory but is recommended to shorten cooking time.
- Roast the red peppers over an open flame or under the grill, then close them in a paper bag, let them cool, and peel.
- Remove the seeds and filaments inside, then add to a pot with just enough vegetable broth to cover and a purée with an immersion blender. If needed, add more broth.
- Cut the onion into thin slices, add to the pan with half the rosemary, and sauté in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until the onion is transparent.
- Drain the rice and toast it in the pan with the onion, then add 2/3 tablespoons of puréed peppers and begin to cook, adding hot vegetable broth a little bit at a time. After fifteen minutes, add the remaining pepper purée and cook. Just before it's ready, add the grated fresh ginger (do not overdo it) and chopped rosemary and then cook for 5 more minutes.
- Remove from heat and add olive oil to taste.
- Serve with freshly ground pepper and chopped hazelnuts, if desired.
