Instructions

  1. Start simmering vegetable broth in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat; cook chopped garlic and onions, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 6 to 8 minutes.

  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and rice; cook, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes until coated and crispy. Stir in wine until fully absorbed.

  4. Ladle 3/4 cup of simmering broth into the rice; stir until absorbed. Continue adding broth in 3/4-cup increments, allowing each addition to absorb before adding more, for about 20 minutes, until the rice is creamy.

  5. Stir in spinach; cook for 2 to 3 minutes until wilted. Mix in nutritional yeast and dairy-free soy margarine until well combined.

  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve immediately.
