Beet Risotto image

I love beets and am always looking for other ways to cook them - this is from Rachel Ray - she suggests garnishing this with crumbled ricotta-salata cheese (or feta)and roasted asparagus. I am a purist and served it plain to enjoy the beet flavor. I also used 5 small beets instead of the large. (this might be nice garnished with a few toasted walnuts & a bit of crumbled blue cheese if you want to add some other flavors)

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
2 large red beets, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 small onion, chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry red wine
salt and pepper

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

  • In a large skillet or medium dutch oven, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium high heat.
  • Stir in the rice to coat with the oil, toast for 2 minutes.
  • Add the beets, onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the wine and cook until absorbed into the rice, then begin adding broth a couple of ladles at a time, stirring with each addition, until the rice is cooked, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • While the risotto is cooking, you can roast 1 pound trimmed asparagus (cut on diagonal into 1 inch pieces) with tossed with olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper in a 425 degree oven for 10 minutes.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning or maybe some additional vegetables.

This beet risotto was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less beets or maybe a different type of cheese.

This recipe was easy to follow and the risotto turned out great! I used golden beets, which gave the risotto a beautiful golden color. The flavor was also spot-on, with a nice balance of sweetness from the beets and savory from the parmesan cheese.
