Beetroot, Buckwheat and Thyme Risotto

January 18, 2016 By Hana Leave a Comment

Beetroot, Buckwheat and Thyme Risotto

Last week when I was taking my son to the library I came across Lorraine Pascale’s new book Eating Well Made Easy. One of the recipes in her book was Beetroot and Barley Risotto that has inspired today’s recipe. I am such a big fan of beetroot, the earthiness makes me feel so grounded and I loved creating this dish. I teamed the beetroot together with buckwheat and thyme and you will get such a nice earthy and fragrant flavours coming through in this dish.

I wanted to make this recipe into one pot dish that is simple and quick to make. And overall it should take about 30 minutes to prepare. Start by sauteing onion and garlic, than add grated beetroot, buckwheat and stock and cook covered for about 20 minutes. It does look like a big mess at first, but once it’s cooked you’ll have a lovely creamy looking risotto. I’ve made mine with water, but I think it would benefit being cooked with some veggie stock or broth for more flavour. Perfect for lunch or dinner, you can serve it with fresh green salad as a main meal or as a side dish. Enjoy:)

Happy New Year beautiful! ✨ I’m feeling that Happy New Year beautiful! ✨

I’m feeling that this is the year we all need to ease into. Use this sacred pause we’re in until the 5th of January to really go within and listen deeply to what are you being called to birth this year. Forget creating goals from your ego. What are those whispers of your soul calling you to? Is it time to take the lead in your life? ✨

If this year is a continuation of 2020 we will need more conscious embodied leaders taking charge to create the change our planet needs. It’s us who create the future. ✨

Now that many of us are awake we need conscious women and men to walk together hand in hand! We’ve got this! 

✨🕊✨

Sending so much Love Hana xx

What dessert are you making this year? To be honest I’ve got my gingerbread cookies stored in fridge, the leftover chocolate cranberry orange cake in freezer so I’m quite sorted! But still pondering whether to make the gingerbread cheesecake. And just have written a new recipe for a lentil nut roast which I’m really looking forward to making on Christmas Day. 🎄

Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cake 🌱 @amoredimona Chocolate Cranberry Orange Cake 🌱 @amoredimona has challenged me to create vegan, grain-free and nut-free chocolate recipe and so I took on the challenge with this layer cake. And I have finally experienced with cassava and tigernut flours, something I’ve been wanting to do for ages. If you fancy some grain-free baking check out the recipe on the blog. 😉

Have a wonderful weekend beautiful! ✨
