Easy Recipe: Creamy Seasonal Risotto
September means the return of squash, carrots, leeks, mushrooms, and the first ripe cheeses. For a comforting dish, create a creamy risotto with the products in your box. Sauté the onion, leek, and carrot in a little olive oil. Add the risotto rice, then gradually moisten with homemade broth (use the tops or peelings for more flavor and less waste!).
At the end of cooking, stir in some diced squash and sliced mushrooms, then a touch of creamy cheese from your box. Stir until smooth and serve piping hot, sprinkled with toasted nuts or seeds. This version is easy to adapt: you can replace the vegetables according to the monthly box or add fresh herbs to vary the flavors. For a crunchy touch, serve with an endive or grated apple salad.
Tip: Using an air fryer to roast vegetables saves time and ensures golden brown vegetables. Risotto also pairs perfectly with leftover fish or grilled tofu.
Colorful and express veggie wrap
Don't want to spend hours in the kitchen? Prepare these colorful vegetarian wraps in just a few minutes. Use the tortillas or tortillas provided in the box (or homemade wraps), spread them with hummus or cream cheese, then garnish with cucumber sticks, bell pepper strips, grated carrots, and salad leaves. Add some sprouted seeds or apple slices for freshness.
In addition to being visually appealing, this wrap is also convenient to take to the office or on a picnic. You can also slip leftover roast chicken, grilled tofu, or a hard-boiled egg into it for a protein boost. A squeeze of lemon, a pinch of smoked paprika, and you're good to go!
For a change of pace, explore the Neary barbecue and grill collection: some of the products in the box can be grilled yakitori-style or in an air fryer, for an even more delicious wrap. Kids also love assembling their own wrap, perfect for busy nights!
Vitamin-packed smoothie for back to school
There's nothing like a good smoothie to start the day or recharge after a workout. This September, you can blend apples, pears, spinach, carrots, and even a little beetroot from your box. Add a banana for sweetness, and a touch of fresh ginger or lemon to boost immunity.
Blend everything in a Neary smoothie blender : the texture will be perfect and you'll be full of vitamins. For a more nourishing version, add a spoonful of almond or chia seed puree. This smoothie can also be made with plant-based milk or yogurt for a creamier texture.
Think about theseasonal calendar to adapt your ingredients each month: September is full of varied fruits and vegetables, so dare to mix them up! Ideal for breakfast, a snack, or even a light dessert.
Anti-waste & smart budget tips
The Neary box makes your life easier, but to go even further, adopt a few anti-waste and economical gestures. Use carrot or radish tops to make pesto, recycle peelings into crispy air fryer chips ( see our air fryer comparison ), or keep leftover vegetables for a quick soup.
Budget-wise, plan your meals in advance: you'll avoid unnecessary purchases and optimize each ingredient in the box.
