Vegetable "Spaghetti"

This vibrant vegetable spaghetti is a refreshing take on a vegetarian starter, celebrating the natural sweetness of root vegetables.

The dish is brought to life with a citrusy orange dressing and a smooth beetroot purée, creating a beautiful contrast of colours and earthy flavours on the plate.

Ideal for a light lunch or an elegant dinner party appetiser, this recipe is packed with nutrients and antioxidants. The combination of creamy Greek yoghurt, tart fresh raspberries, and toasted pistachios adds layers of texture that make every bite interesting. It is a fantastic way to showcase seasonal produce in a modern, healthy way that feels both sophisticated and effortless to prepare.

Ingredients for Vegetable "Spaghetti"

  • 900g carrots, peeled

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons orange juice

  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

  • 1/4 teaspoons sea salt

  • 8 teaspoons shelled raw pistachios

  • 1 large beet (about 230g ), cooked, peeled and diced

  • 120ml nonfat Greek-style yoghurt

  • 64 fresh raspberries

  • 16 leaves mint

  • 16 leaves coriander

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a bowl halfway with ice and water. Slice carrots with a spiral cutter into long, thin spirals (or julienne them). Then cut each curl crosswise to make 3-inch-long sections. Blanch carrots in hot water for about 10 seconds. Remove and plunge into ice water. Drain and set aside. Whisk oil, orange juice and vinegar in a bowl. Add salt and mix well. Set aside. Toast pistachios in a small pan until fragrant. Chop into pieces. Blend diced beets in a blender until smooth; set aside. Toss carrots with dressing. Divide carrots among 8 small plates. Spoon 1 tablespoon yoghurt onto each plate, next to each mound of carrots, then spoon 1 tablespoon beet puree on top of yoghurt. Divide raspberries and pistachios among plates. Garnish with mint and coriander.
