In a small pot, bring the vegetable broth to a low simmer.
In a separate wide skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the finely minced shallot and garlic, sautéing until translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the Arborio rice, toasting the grains for about one minute until the edges are slightly translucent.
Add the simmering broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently and allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding more.
When the rice is halfway cooked (about 10 minutes), stir in the shelled edamame and sweet peas.
Continue adding broth and stirring until the rice is tender but still has a slight bite.
Remove from heat and vigorously stir in the nutritional yeast, hemp hearts, lemon zest, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper.
Fold in the freshly chopped mint leaves right before serving to maintain their bright color and flavor.
