The color of your risotto will depend largely on the color of your vegetable broth. My broth was fairly dark brown, so it resulted in this orange-y color. Which I actually love. Below are directions for both the All-Clad Prep & Cook and stovetop directions. This no-stir risotto is naturally vegan and gluten-free. Adding in the cheese is very optional and adds an extra layer of creaminess. I like it both with and without.
