Recipe: Perfect Healthy Vegan Beet Risotto

Healthy Vegan Beet Risotto. I developed this recipe from two non-vegan recipes, one from Marie Claire magazine, and the other from Canadian Living magazine. One of the recipes has you roast the beets in the oven and cut them into small chunks before adding them to the risotto, while the other recipe just calls for freshly grated beets. I made a simple yet delicious beetroot risotto with tiny little cubes of beetroot cooked in the rice and sweet and sour, balsamic glazed chunks on top.

To Make the Risotto: First, chop the onion, mince the garlic and peel and grate the beet into fine shreds using a rough cheese grater. In a medium pot, heat up the coconut oil and cook the onions. In a saucepan, bring the stock to a simmer; cover and keep warm. You can have Healthy Vegan Beet Risotto using 8 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you cook that.

Ingredients of Healthy Vegan Beet Risotto

1. Prepare 2 cup of round brown rice.
2. It's 4 tbsp of olive oil.
3. Prepare 1 of onion, chopped.
4. It's 3/4 cup of white wine.
5. You need 3 clove of garlic, crushed.
6. You need 1 large of beetroot, peeled and diced.
7. You need 1 1/2 liter of home made veggie stock.
8. You need 1/3 cup of coconut oil.

In a medium enameled cast-iron casserole, melt the butter in the oil. Add the onion and cook over moderately high heat, stirring. Beet juice gives this classic Italian vegetarian risotto recipe a gorgeous (millennial) pink hue. Look for bottled beet juice with other juices at well-stocked supermarkets or juice some of your own.
