Happy New Year!
The first vegetables in 2021 for our Good Friend Good Food Group are carrots.
I like carrots in cakes, bread and soups, sweet and savoury, candied, pickled or fermented.
The newsletter from Valentinas Kochbuch brought the recipe for
Carrot Risotto
Easy to make, if you use the grater from your KitchenAid. This version is vegetarian, but a few slices of boiled ham are also delicious.
Don’t miss the posts from Donna, Ellen, Kayte, Margaret, Nancy and Peggy.
In a fortnight we are using greens. Let’s see what the weekly market or the foodassembly offers.

I love rice so I’m sure I would love this. The mixture with the Parmesan sounds really good. Plus it’s a very pretty dish and you could make an entire meal out of it right? Happy new year!
Yes, it is an entire meal, the source is Italian. The risotto milanese is famous Happy New Year!
Oooo! This looks yummy!! I love risotto but haven’t thought to make it with carrots
So did I, glad I got this newsletter
I have never had carrots in risotto before, but this looks like a nice combination of flavors. Would like to give this a try. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Donna!
Hallo Ulrike,
ich wünsche Dir ein gesundes Neues Jahr!
Bei mir gibt es ja sehr gerne und oft Risotto, aber an Karotten als Gemüsebeilage habe ich noch nie gedacht.
Liebe Grüße
Katja
Auch dir ein gesundes Neues Jahr! Der Newsletter von Valentinas Kochbuch hält allerhand Überraschungen bereit. Ich wäre sonst auch nicht auf Karotten im Risotto gekommen.
Frohes neues Jahr! Bin ja mal gespannt, was 2021 für uns alle bereit hält. Nach 2020 kann es nur noch besser werden. Hoffe ich zumindest.
A new and interesting way to use carrots…it looks so lovely and so comforting. I would love to sit down to a dish of this. I will try this one. We love carrots here. So nice the newsletter came at just the right time, I love it when that happens. Happy New Year, Ulrike…all the best to all of you for 2021.
