Beet Risotto

This vibrant beetroot risotto is a show-stopping vegetarian main course that brings both deep, earthy flavours and a stunning splash of colour to the dinner table. By slowly cooking the arborio rice with grated beetroot, the dish develops a beautiful magenta hue and a natural sweetness that balances perfectly against the acidity of the white wine vinegar. It is a comforting, seasonal meal that celebrates simple ingredients through the classic, mindful technique of risotto making.

Ideal for a cosy weeknight supper or a sophisticated weekend lunch, this recipe is topped with fresh parsley and tangy goat's cheese for a luxurious finish. The creaminess of the cheese cuts through the rich earthiness of the vegetables, making it a well-rounded and nutritious choice. Serve it alongside a crisp green salad for a light yet satisfying homemade dinner.

Ingredients for Beet Risotto

  • 950ml low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth

  • 3 remolachas medianas rojas o doradas (aproximadamente 450g)

  • 2 cucharadas de mantequilla sin sal

  • 2 cucharadas de aceite de oliva

  • 1 cebolla mediana, finamente picada

  • 3 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

  • 1 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided

  • 350ml arborio or carnaroli rice

  • 20ml white wine or Champagne vinegar, divided, plus more

  • 45ml de nata doble

  • 4 tablespoons coarsely chopped parsley, divided

  • 60g fresh goat cheese, crumbled (optional)

Bring broth and 1200ml water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Reduce heat to low and gently simmer.

Meanwhile, peel beets, then coarsely shred using a food processor fitted with the shredder attachment or the large holes of a box grater.

Heat a large wide pot or sauté pan over medium-high. Cook butter and oil, stirring occasionally, until butter melts. Add onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add beets, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper and sauté until tender, about 10 minutes more.

Add rice and cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes, then add 350ml broth, 3 teaspoons vinegar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring constantly, until liquid has evaporated. Continue adding broth, 180ml at a time as rice absorbs liquid, stirring constantly and simmering until rice is tender, 30–40 minutes; season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoons pepper halfway through. About 2 minutes before rice is al dente, add cream, 2 tablespoons parsley, remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper.

Divide among 4 plates or bowls, then top with goat cheese, if using, and remaining 2 tablespoons parsley.
