Gifted products
Given it’s still Plastic Free July, I have teamed up with Smidge for a fantastic giveaway to win a stainless steel lunch box and two sets of food wraps (a vegan and a beeswax wrap) to help you on your plastic free journey. Taking food with you to work, school or on picnic is the best way to make sure you eat nutritious and healthy food, control portion, keep food costs down and cut down on food waste and packaging. If you had enough of boring supermarket sandwiches, want to eat delicious and home made food and cut out all that plastic – then all you need to do is get a plastic free lunch kit and look up simple and flavoursome recipes that make a great packed lunch.
Like this Vegan Beetroot and Spinach Risotto. This is actually not a proper risotto as in this vegan recipe no wine or cheese involved, nevertheless it’s bursting with flavours and just looking at the colours will make you feel healthier. Definitely makes a perfect packed lunch.
But first, let’s see our giveaway!

Vegan Beetroot and Spinach Risotto Recipe
Super healthy and bursting with flavours: this beetroot and spinach risotto is simple, earthy and colourful.
- 250 g roasted beetroot cubed
- 150 g fresh baby spinach
- 1 medium leek sliced (use as much as possible of the green part!)
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 250 g arborio rice or other risotto rice
- 1 lemon zested
- 750 ml vegetable stock
- 2 springs fresh thyme
- 2 springs fresh rosemary
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
-
First, cut about two small/medium beetroot into halves and roast them in the oven for 50-60 minutes until they are tender (170 degrees). Let them cool and peel them. Chop them into small, about 1.5cm x 1.5 cm cubes. Set them aside.
Add the garlic and the leek slices with the olive oil to a large pan and let them soften on medium heat for 3 minutes. Then add the rice (wash it beforehand). When it starts sticking, add half of the stock.
-
Tip in the beetroot, the herbs, and the lemon zest. Cook on low heat for about half an hour. Keep adding some more stock until it's gone. Then check the rice - it should be al dente.
-
Add the fresh spinach leaves, cook for one more minute and turn off heat. Cover it until serving.
-
Sprinkle some freshly juiced lemon juice over the plate when serving the dish.
