Waaay too spicy. Tasted like cayanne pepper in vegetable broth. - 04 Aug 2012 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Super easy and fun way to make vegetarian risotto. It uses ingredients found easily in the kitchen without having to run out and I love using all these spices. - 21 Jul 2012 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This was good. I really liked a vegan version of risotto. I will definitely make some adjustments in method next time, though. I'll add the tomatoes after toasting the rice. It never toasted properly because the tomato left too much liquid. Also, I'll add some chickpeas when instructed but reserve a few for the end of cooking. They become soft giving the risotto a creamy texture like when adding cheese, but I wanted a few solid ones too. We like things spicy so the amount of spices was perfect. Thank you for the recipe. - 26 Jun 2017 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
