Simple Carrot and Coriander Soup

It’s Sunday and I’ve still got all the vegetables from my organic box on Tuesday! So before the next batch arrives I have been trying to desperately come up with quick recipes to use all my veg up. After trying coriander flowers on my Broccoli soup last week, I decided to create a soup really determined to bring those subtle flavours out.

Low-fat Beetroot Risotto

Purple is my favourite colour. Last winter I had a purple coat (I got some pretty amazing compliments about it in Seattle – do Americans not have purple jackets?) I also had about 5 purple tops, a couple of purple dresses and the most amazing purple shoes. (I even had a pair of purple tights… but we won’t go into that.)

Even though going through an extreme purple phase I never ate anything purple. It’s not a colour I associate with food, especially not savoury meals. So when I got beetroot in my organic box this week and started looking into what new things I could do with it. Browsing online this purple risotto jumped out at me!

What to do with Broad Beans

This week in my Organic Vegetable box I got 14 Broad Bean pods. The suggestion in the box was Crushed Broad Beans and Mint Bruschetta but I opted for Broad Bean and Bacon Risotto instead.

Any Veg Frittatas

I like making food with the things I have in the fridge, while it’s nice to have a bunch of recipes where you have to go out and but lots of interesting new ingredients. It’s always good to have a couple of recipes that will work with almost anything.
