PINK RISOTTO WITH BEET GREENS AND ROASTED BEETS



Pink Risotto With Beet Greens and Roasted Beets image

This rich-tasting risotto is decidedly pink (maybe it will be the key to getting your picky family member to eat vegetables!). Use a full-bodied vegetable stock if you are vegetarian; otherwise use a well seasoned chicken or turkey stock.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 5 generously as a main dish

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 pound beets (1 bunch small), roasted
1 bunch beet greens, stemmed and washed
6 to 7 cups chicken or vegetable stock, as needed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/2 cups Arborio or Carnarolli rice
2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
1/2 cup red, rose, or dry white wine
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 to 2 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated (1/4 to 1/2 cup, to taste)
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Bring the stock to a simmer in a saucepan. Season well and turn the heat to low. Stack the stemmed, washed greens and cut crosswise into 1-inch wide strips.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large nonstick frying pan or wide, heavy saucepan and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until the onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes, and add the rice and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the grains of rice are separate and beginning to crackle, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the wine and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. The wine should bubble, but not too quickly. You want some of the flavor to cook into the rice before it evaporates. When the wine has just about evaporated, stir in a ladleful or two of the simmering stock (about 1/2 cup), enough to just cover the rice. The stock should bubble slowly (adjust heat accordingly). Cook, stirring often, until it is just about absorbed. Add another ladleful or two of the stock and continue to cook in this fashion, not too fast and not too slowly, stirring often and adding more stock when the rice is almost dry, for 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the greens and the diced beets, and continue adding more stock, enough to barely cover the rice, and stirring often, for another 10 to 15 minutes. Taste a bit of the rice. Is it cooked through? It should taste chewy but not hard in the middle. Definitely not soft like steamed rice. If it is still hard in the middle, you need to continue adding stock and stirring for another 5 minutes or so. Now is the time to ascertain if there is enough salt. Add if necessary.
  • When the rice is cooked through, add a generous amount of freshly ground pepper, and stir in another half cup of stock, the Parmesan and the parsley. Remove from the heat. The rice should be creamy; if it isn't, add a little more stock. Stir once, taste and adjust seasonings, and serve.

The red from the beets will bleed into the white rice in this nutrient-dense risotto. Both the beets and the black rice contribute anthocyanins, flavonoids with antioxidant properties.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, side dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup black rice, like Lundberg Black Japonica or Forbidden Rice, cooked (3 cups cooked black rice)
1 quart chicken or vegetable stock, as needed
1 bunch beet greens, stemmed and washed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2/3 cup arborio rice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 pound beets (1 bunch small), roasted, skinned and diced
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 to 2 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated (1/4 to 1/2 cup, to taste, optional)
2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • To cook the black rice, combine with 2 cups water in a saucepan, add salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer 30 to 40 minutes, until all of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice. Remove from the heat, remove the lid from the pan and place a dish towel over the pan, then return the lid. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Bring the stock to a simmer in a saucepan. Season well and turn the heat to low. Stack the stemmed, washed greens and cut crosswise into 1-inch-wide strips.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large nonstick frying pan or wide, heavy saucepan and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until the onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes, and add the rice and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the grains of rice are separate and beginning to crackle, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the wine and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. The wine should bubble, but not too quickly. You want some of the flavor to cook into the rice before it evaporates.

  • Stir in the greens, the diced beets and black rice and continue adding more stock, enough to barely cover the rice, and stirring often, for another 10 to 15 minutes. The arborio rice should be chewy but not hard in the middle - and definitely not soft like steamed rice. If it is still hard in the middle, you need to continue adding stock and stirring for another 5 minutes or so. Now is the time to ascertain if there is enough salt. Add if necessary.
  • When the rice is cooked through, add a generous amount of freshly ground pepper, and stir in another ladleful of stock, the Parmesan and the parsley. Remove from the heat. The risotto should be creamy; if it isn't, add a little more stock. Stir once, taste and adjust seasonings, and serve.

Provided by BN61079

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch beets with
greens
¼ cup olive oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped onion
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C). Wash the beets thoroughly, leaving the skins on, and remove the greens. Rinse greens, removing any large stems, and set aside. Place the beets in a small baking dish or roasting pan, and toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. If you wish to peel the beets, it is easier to do so once they have been roasted.
  • Cover, and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a knife can slide easily through the largest beet.
  • When the roasted beets are almost done, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and onion, and cook for a minute. Tear the beet greens into 2 to 3 inch pieces, and add them to the skillet. Cook and stir until greens are wilted and tender. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the greens as is, and the roasted beets sliced with either red-wine vinegar, or butter and salt and pepper.

Tips

  • Choose the right beets. Fresh, small to medium-sized beets with deep red color are best for this recipe. Avoid beets with soft spots or blemishes.
  • Prepare the beets and beet greens properly. Before cooking, scrub the beets clean and trim the tops, leaving about 2 inches of stem attached. Wash the beet greens thoroughly and pat dry.
  • Roast the beets before adding them to the risotto. Roasting the beets intensifies their flavor and makes them easier to digest. To roast the beets, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the beets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Use a good quality risotto rice. Arborio or Carnaroli rice are both good choices for this recipe. They have a high starch content, which helps to create a creamy risotto.
  • Cook the risotto slowly and patiently. Risotto takes time to cook, so don't rush it. Cook the rice over low heat and stir frequently. Add the liquid in small increments, allowing the rice to absorb each addition before adding more.
  • Add the horseradish and beet greens at the end of cooking. This will help to preserve their flavor and color.
  • Serve the risotto immediately. Risotto is best served hot and fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but the texture will not be as good.

Conclusion

Beet and beet green risotto with horseradish is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The earthy flavor of the beets is perfectly complemented by the creamy risotto and the sharp horseradish. This dish is sure to impress your guests. Here is a summary of the key points to remember when making beet and beet green risotto with horseradish:
  • Choose fresh, small to medium-sized beets with deep red color.
  • Prepare the beets and beet greens properly.
  • Roast the beets before adding them to the risotto.
  • Use a good quality risotto rice.
  • Cook the risotto slowly and patiently.
  • Add the horseradish and beet greens at the end of cooking.
  • Serve the risotto immediately.
