Broccoli Brown Rice Risotto With Vegan Alfredo Sauce

May 4, 2023
This is a dish that is great for a family dinner or meal prepping for the entire week! The homemade cashew-based vegan Alfredo sauce mixed in with the rice and veggies is truly what makes this dish so spectacular. The spices complement each other wonderfully, and you even get some added protein from the cashews. Not to mention those healthy greens! If you are reheating you may want to add a bit of water beforehand. The cashews in the sauce tend to soak up all the moisture. Otherwise, happy cooking and enjoy!
