- Salt and pepper, the fundamental notes that bring the composition to a harmonious balance

Instructions that choreograph this gastronomic ballet:
1. The Sautéed Prelude:
Within the expansive confines of a sizable pan, commence the culinary odyssey by imbuing olive oil with warmth over a medium heat expanse. Allow the finely chopped onion to pirouette until it achieves translucence. The addition of minced garlic becomes a subsequent movement, each aromatic note reaching a crescendo of fragrance.
2. The Mushroom Sonata:
Introduce the sliced mushrooms into the pan, each fungal slice pirouetting into a golden-brown splendor—a visual and olfactory sonnet. A handful of these mushrooms, reserved for later, transcends into a momentary hiatus before the final act.
3. The Arborio Rhapsody:
The Arborio rice, a virtuoso in its own right, takes center stage. Stirring it delicately, the rice becomes enveloped in the flavorful medley. A splash of dry white wine ensues, a simmering overture until the rice succumbs to the liquid's tender embrace.
4. The Gradual Broth Ballet:
The risotto enchantment commences as warm vegetable broth, ladle by ladle, engages in a meticulous dance with the Arborio rice. Each addition absorbs gradually, creating a symphony of textures that culminates in the crescendo of a creamy, al dente perfection.
5. The Creamy Crescendo:
Vegan butter, nutritional yeast, dried thyme, salt, and pepper join the gastronomic ballet, each contributing a nuanced layer to the composition. Adjustments to taste become the choreographic finesse that elevates the symphony to its apex.
6. The Mushroom Medley Intermezzo:
In a separate pan, the set-aside handful of mushrooms embarks on a solo journey, sautéing into a crispy cadence—a medley that becomes the intermezzo, an interlude of texture and flavor
