From the Sugar Happy Kitchen: Keto Low Carb Creamy Langoustine Risotto with Vegan Option

There are a few everyday Italian dishes I like; Risotto is on top of my list. What makes it a favorite entree is its versatility. It can be vegan, vegetarian, or served with red meat.

The dish originates in Milan, Italy, a city known for its excellence in fashion, opera, and cuisine.

My recipe is a vegan version that does not use chicken broth butter or parmesan cheese. It is just as delicious as the traditional entree. I say this with confidence as I have served this dish to people on the vegan, paleo, and keto diet. They all have given it thumbs up.
