Winter Vegetable Risotto

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Place the carrot, parsnip, and squash in a large bowl with the rosemary. Toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until soft but not mushy.
3. Combine the stock and wine in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once simmering, reduce the temperature to medium-low.
4. Sauté the garlic, onion, and rice in a large nonstick pot for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the rice starts to toast.
5. Add 1 cup of the simmering broth-wine mixture to the rice and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is mostly absorbed. Continue adding the broth 1 cup at a time, stirring as it is absorbed, until the rice is tender and creamy, about 20 minutes.
6. Add the milk, tahini, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and mirin, and cook for 5 minutes more. Stir in the roasted veggies. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Note: Mirin is a sweet rice wine. If you can’t find it, you can use dry sherry or white wine with a pinch of sugar.
