Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 small beets, rinsed and trimmed
A pinch of saffron
2 1/2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons onion, diced
1 cup Arborio rice
2 tablespoons dry white wine
2 ounces white truffle oil
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chives, chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, simmer the beets in water to cover until tender (about an hour). Set them aside and reserve the cooking liquid. When the beets are cool, peel them, dice them and set them aside. Soften the saffron in the chicken stock.
  • Heat three tablespoons of the butter in a heavy skillet and cook the onion until it is soft. Add the rice and stir for about 30 seconds, or until the grains become opaque. Add the white wine and when it has been absorbed, add a small amount of chicken stock, stirring constantly. Add the beet cooking liquid a little at a time. When this has been absorbed by the rice, continue adding small quantities of chicken stock and stirring, until the rice is al dente -- in other words, with a slight bite to it.
  • Add the diced beets and stir them in. Add an ounce of the truffle oil and the Parmesan cheese and continue stirring. Add the remaining butter and the chives and stir in the remaining ounce of truffle oil along with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Pass the extra cheese separately.

The risotto was very good, but I think it needed a bit more salt.

This risotto was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less beets.

I'm not a huge fan of beets, but this risotto was delicious! The sweetness of the beets was perfectly balanced by the savory flavors of the risotto. The texture was also perfect - creamy and al dente. I would definitely recommend this recipe!

The risotto was very good, but I found the instructions a bit confusing. I think it would be helpful to have more step-by-step instructions.

The risotto was a bit bland. I think it needed more salt and pepper. The beets were also a bit too crunchy for my liking.
