Hello everybody!

Today I have special recipe for You! Special, because it's for great competition @steemit-ironchef created by @progressivechef, where I participate first time! This is my second competition ever, and I also hope that this will be pleasure to cook for this contest.

Why I decied to make Beetroot Risotto?
Before I never tried making risotto by myself. One time I just cooked Arborio for this dish, when I worked with chefs jet. They made this rice exactly with beetroot and grilled chicken with cheese. And this dish really stayed in my memory. That was the best Risotto what I ate in this period.
Now, because I changed my food habbits, I decided to make my, more healthy and vegan, version of this dish special for this lovely competition. I can say, that it was a little test for me because how I mentioned above - I never made Risotto in my life! hahaha.😅
I made my version without white wine and parmesan.I think lack of these things makes this dish more healthy. Without white wine Risotto also taste amazing or even better for me!
I used smoked tofu as a replacement of chicken, and I also used special spices for chicken because I think that kind of spices mix have a very good composition.
I carefully composed spices, which goes very well with sweet taste of beetroot.
For sure I will do this dish more than one time! It was something really yummy!

Let's start cooking!🤗
