Number Of Ingredients 10

2 14 1/2-ounce can vegetable broth
1 cup dry white wine
1 large onion, chopped
1 large leek (white and pale green parts), chopped
1 cup medium-grain white rice
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 15- to 16-ounce can red beans or kidney beans, rinsed, drained
1 large head radicchio or 1/4 head curly endive, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)

This risotto is a great way to use up leftover beans. I always have a can or two of beans in my pantry, so it's easy to whip up this dish on a weeknight. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
