Vegan Sweet Potato and Butternut Squash Risotto

The hero of this Vegan Sweet Potato and Butternut Squash Risotto is actually the roasted garlic. It adds a depth of flavour that’s wonderful and smoky. Risotto isn’t terribly hard to make, you just have to commit to the process – you will be standing by a large pot of rice, gently stirring in stock.

This is a great vegan dish; top with a bit of grated Violife Parmesan if you wish.

Free From: Dairy, Eggs, Gluten

Be careful with using commercial stocks as most contain celery.

The thing about Risotto is that once you’re comfortable making it you can create Risotto with whatever you have to hand – peas, mushrooms, roasted cauliflower, courgettes – left over chicken or salmon if you fancy some protein. If you fancy another risotto recipe here is a link to our Pea and Mint Risotto.

Vegan Sweet Potato and Butternut Squash Risotto Allergy Mums
Ingredients
  • 1 large head of garlic (or two small)
  • 1 sweet potato – diced
  • ½ butternut squash – diced
  • 5 shallots – cut in quarters
  • 150 ml white wine
  • 400g risotto rice
  • 600 ml vegetable stock - be aware that most commercial stocks have celery
  • Olive oil, salt and pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C, 355°F
Step 2
Pop the whole garlic in the oven for 30 – 35 minutes – then take it out and leave to one side to cool enough to handle. Peel the garlic cloves and leave to the side. This is a fiddly job so best to get it done before you start the risotto.
Step 3
Skin and dice up the sweet potato and butternut squash
Step 4
Skin and cut into quarters the shallots
Step 5
Grab a roasting dish, add a tablespoon or so of olive oil and pop into the oven for 3 minutes to get warm
Step 6
Add the sweet potato, butternut squash and onions to the pan. Roast for about 40 minutes – flip the vegetables several times throughout that time.
Step 7
While the vegetables are roasting get on with making the base for the risotto
Step 8
Put the stock in a pan on a low heat. Grab a ladle or measuring cup to have handy.
Step 9
Have the wine ready by the side of the stove.
Step 10
Grab a large pan with a wide base. Add about a tablespoon of olive oil and heat gently. Turn up the heat a bit and add the rice. Now is the time that you start stirring. You want to ‘toast’ the rice, not cook it. So a few stirs with the spoon as the rice sizzles for a minute or so.
Step 11
Throw in the wine – it will sizzle and evaporate.
Step 12
Grab your ladle and add some stock. Stir as you go. Only add about ½ cup at a time and make sure that the stock is completely absorbed before adding more. This is the bit where you stir – don’t leave it and allow the rice to bubble away. On my stove a medium/low heat works best. You want a constant bubble, not a boil. If you add the stock too quickly the rice will be mushy on the outside and hard on the inside so go slowly. You do need to check on the vegetables a couple of times as you make the risotto.
Step 13
Once all the stock has been absorbed you should have a lovely risotto – do check the rice as you go. It should have a bite to it but not be raw, or overcooked and mushy.
Step 14
Grab the garlic and add it to the roasting vegetables for five minutes. If you find that the vegetables are done before the risotto just put the heat down to low and keep them warm.
Step 15
Once the risotto is ready gently stir in the vegetables with a wooden spoon (metal will squish them as they are lovely, soft, and delicate). Taste and add a bit of salt and pepper according to your taste.
Step 16
Serve with Violife Parmesan cheese and your vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and dairy allergic friends will be delighted!

Easy Bean Salad

Easy Bean Salad

We love Bean Salad, its just a nice change from a green salad. Packed with protein and simple to do – a lot of opening of tins involved! A simple salad that’s great with a BBQ   If you’ve got a BBQ going and want something nice on it – do try these Duck Skewers.

Duck Skewers

BBQ Duck Skewers

The weather is fine, the BBQ is out and it’s time to pop something other than a sausage on the BBQ.  Skewers are always popular – I like to cut the meat into strips rather than chunks as it cooks more evenly. Duck is amazing on a BBQ – full of flavour and quick to […]

Coconut Chicken

Coconut Chicken and Pineapple

This is a lovely meal on the BBQ or under the grill. Cooking time is pretty short, about 15 minutes but you do need to marinate them for at least 3 hours, or even prepare them the night before.  Pineapple is a good fruit for these, as it’s solid enough to take the heat from […]
