Green day..........but pink food

Tonight for dinner I had beetroot risotto. I fried 1 red onion, added about half a small pack of arborio rice, and slowly added 1.5 pints of vegetable stock over about 20 minutes until all liquid is absorbed. In the last 5 minutes of the rice cooking add 100g of cubed beetroot with a few tbsp of the beetroot's juice. Serve with a side salad of rocket, roasted tomatoes in balsamic vinegar, and butternut squash roasted in paprika. It was delicious and a very fun colour.


I followed this with Instant ice cream, frozen berries blended with vanilla yogurt, 3 tbsp of sweetner and 1 tsp of vaillia essence. This is 1 syn because of blending the fruit. It was more like frozen yogurt than ice cream but still delicious. I think if I blended it and put it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes it would be more like ice cream consistency.



 
Finished the evening off with a cup of tea and hifi bar (2nd healthy extra b)
