- 4 onions, thinly sliced
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 shallots, finely diced
- 1 litre vegetable stock
- 30g vegan butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tsp thyme, chopped
- 300g arborio
- ½ cup dry white wine
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- 100ml vegan milk

- 2 tbsp nooch
- 1 tsp lemon juice

Steps
- Heat the pan with the butter over medium. Add the sliced onions and salt and reduce heat.
- Cook for 25 mins, stirring occasionally. If they get too dry add a splash of water to the pan.
- Add the sugar and vinegar, cook for another five minutes then set aside.
- Heat olive oil in the wok on medium. Add the shallot and garlic until fragrant.
- Place a saucepan over medium and add the vegetable stock. Bring to a simmer and then reduce to low.
- Add the arborio to the shallot and garlic. Toast the rice for a minute, stirring often.
- Pour in the wine and constantly stir until absorbed.
- Ladle in just enough stock to cover the rice. Cook until stock is just absorbed, stirring often.
- Repeat the process until all the stock is used or rice is cooked.
- Meanwhile put the milk, tapioca starch, nooch and lemon juice into a jar and shake well.
- Season the risotto with salt and pepper. Add the onions, chilli flakes and rosemary and stir to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the tapioca starch mixture.
- Stir well until the risotto is smooth and creamy.
