    Recipe Introduction


    Origins Unknown

    List of Ingredients




    6 cups gf 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 gf dry red wine
    salt and pepper

    Recipe



    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

    In a medium pot, warm the broth over medium heat.

    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.

    Serve shallow bowls of beet risotto - garnish with asparagus if desired.
