A vibrant and flavorful risotto made with beets, offering a unique twist on the classic Italian dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 2 medium beets, roasted and pureed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth and keep it warm over low heat.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent.
  3. Add the Arborio rice to the skillet, stirring for about 2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
  4. Pour in the white wine and stir until it is mostly absorbed by the rice.
  5. Gradually add the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until the liquid is absorbed before adding more.
  6. After about 15 minutes, stir in the beet puree and continue cooking until the rice is creamy and al dente.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, omit the Parmesan cheese or use a plant-based alternative.
  • Adjust the amount of beet puree based on your desired color and flavor intensity.
  • Pair with a light salad for a complete meal.
