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 was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked it more if it had more garlic and herbs.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my risotto turned out gluey. I think I added too much liquid.

This bean and green risotto was a hit with my family! It was creamy, flavorful, and had a nice balance of textures. The green beans added a pop of color and crunch, and the Parmesan cheese added a salty, nutty flavor.
