Time 2h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup minced shallots
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups arborio rice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup red wine
4 cups fresh red beet juice
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely grated pecorino, plus extra for garnish
Roasted Red Beets, recipe follows
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
4 to 5 red beets, washed of excess dirt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 sprig fresh rosemary
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add the oil and shallots to a large, high-sided saute pan over medium heat. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, then cover and sweat (do not caramelize) for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice and toast for about 5 minutes, stirring to coat the grains with oil. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until aromatic. Deglaze the pan with the red wine.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, warm the beet juice and vegetable stock. Slowly add the beet juice mixture to the risotto pan, one ladle at a time, stirring and adding ladlefuls only once the previous has been absorbed. Cook in this manner until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been added, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Stir in the butter and then the pecorino. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Serve garnished with Roasted Red Beets, more pecorino, and chives.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the beets in the center of a large piece of foil and drizzle with the olive oil. Add the garlic, rosemary and some salt and pepper. Crimp the edges of the foil together to seal. Roast until tender, 40 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove the skins and cut the beets into dice.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for a weeknight meal. I think I'll try a quicker risotto recipe next time.

The risotto was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add a bit more liquid next time.

The risotto was a bit too al dente for my liking. I think I'll cook it for a few minutes longer next time.

Not a big fan of beets, but this risotto changed my mind! The earthy flavor of the beets was balanced out by the creamy risotto and the sharp pecorino. Definitely a dish I'll be making again.
