On the one hand, the choice of rice plays a crucial role in how creamy your risotto becomes. For example, long-grain rice with little starch will not make your risotto as creamy as the Arborio or Baldo rice varieties mentioned above. We also add some tahini, as we don't use oil or butter. So we still get a creamy note. The vegan Parmesan, if you make it according to my recipe from nutritional yeast and cashew nuts or hemp seeds, almonds, help the asparagus pea risotto to become creamy.
