Steps:
- Place a small braiser or medium dutch oven over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil to the hot pan and melt. Add the shallot, fennel, beet and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until fragrant and the vegetables are beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat the in butter and oil mixture and toast slightly, about 3 more minutes. Deglaze with the sherry vinegar and season with the remaining salt. Begin adding the broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring often. Cook, stirring, after each addition until the broth is almost completely absorbed, continuing with the remaining broth until the risotto is creamy, cooked through and still moves slightly when spooned onto a plate. This will take about 20 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan until melted. Serve with crumbled gorgonzola on top.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion and beetroot, and cook over a low-medium heat for 15 mins. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min. Stir in the rice and fry for a couple of minutes, then pour in the wine and bring to a simmer. Add half the stock, stirring until it is absorbed. Add the remaining stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring continuously until the rice is al dente. Stir through the parmesan and lemon juice, adding a splash more stock to loosen if the risotto seems a little thick. Season to taste.
- Toss the feta with the lemon zest and dill, if using, and spoon over the risotto. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil. Any leftovers will keep covered in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in a pan over a low heat, stirring in a little stock to loosen.

- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Peel and trim the beetroots (use kitchen gloves if you don't want your hands to get stained) and cut into large wedges. Place on a large sheet of foil on a baking sheet. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, season, then cook for 1 hr until the beets are soft.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil with the butter in an ovenproof pan with a lid. Tip in the onion and garlic, then cook for 3-5 mins until translucent. Stir in the rice until well coated with the butter and oil. Pour over the white wine, then let the mixture bubble away for 5 mins.

BEET RISOTTO
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)

Steps:
- Bring broth and 5 cups water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Reduce heat to low and gently simmer.
- Meanwhile, peel beets, then coarsely shred using a food processor fitted with the shredder attachment or the large holes of a box grater.
- Heat a large wide pot or sauté pan over medium-high. Cook butter and oil, stirring occasionally, until butter melts. Add onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add beets, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper and sauté until tender, about 10 minutes more.
- Add rice and cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes, then add 1 1/2 cups broth, 3 tsp. vinegar, and 1 tsp. salt. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring constantly, until liquid has evaporated. Continue adding broth, 3/4 cup at a time as rice absorbs liquid, stirring constantly and simmering until rice is tender, 30-40 minutes; season with 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper halfway through. About 2 minutes before rice is al dente, add cream, 2 Tbsp. parsley, remaining 1 tsp. vinegar, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper.
- Divide among 4 plates or bowls, then top with goat cheese, if using, and remaining 2 Tbsp. parsley.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the risotto will be. Look for fresh, organic vegetables, and high-quality cheese.
- Cook the rice properly: Arborio rice is the traditional rice used for risotto. It has a high starch content, which helps to create the creamy texture of the dish. Cook the rice according to the package directions, or until it is al dente (still slightly firm to the bite).
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is an important part of the flavor of the risotto. Use a flavorful broth, such as chicken broth, vegetable broth, or seafood broth.
- Add the ingredients gradually: Add the broth, wine, and vegetables to the rice gradually, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming too mushy.
- Stir constantly: Stirring the risotto constantly will help to prevent it from sticking to the pan and will also help to create a creamy texture.
- Finish the risotto with butter and cheese: Once the risotto is cooked, stir in some butter and grated cheese. This will help to add richness and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
Beetroot risotto with feta cheese is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can create a perfect beetroot risotto that will impress your family and friends.
