Steps:
- Bring broth and 5 cups 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 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper and sauté until tender, about 10 minutes more.
- Add rice and cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes, then add 1 1/2 cups broth, 3 tsp. vinegar, and 1 tsp. salt. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring constantly, until liquid has evaporated. Continue adding broth, 3/4 cup at a time as rice absorbs liquid, stirring constantly and simmering until rice is tender, 30-40 minutes; season with 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper halfway through. About 2 minutes before rice is al dente, add cream, 2 Tbsp. parsley, remaining 1 tsp. vinegar, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper.
- Divide among 4 plates or bowls, then top with goat cheese, if using, and remaining 2 Tbsp. parsley.

Steps:
- Place a small braiser or medium dutch oven over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil to the hot pan and melt. Add the shallot, fennel, beet and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until fragrant and the vegetables are beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat the in butter and oil mixture and toast slightly, about 3 more minutes. Deglaze with the sherry vinegar and season with the remaining salt. Begin adding the broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring often. Cook, stirring, after each addition until the broth is almost completely absorbed, continuing with the remaining broth until the risotto is creamy, cooked through and still moves slightly when spooned onto a plate. This will take about 20 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan until melted. Serve with crumbled gorgonzola on top.
BEET RISOTTO
I love beets and am always looking for other ways to cook them - this is from Rachel Ray - she suggests garnishing this with crumbled ricotta-salata cheese (or feta)and roasted asparagus. I am a purist and served it plain to enjoy the beet flavor. I also used 5 small beets instead of the large. (this might be nice garnished with a few toasted walnuts & a bit of crumbled blue cheese if you want to add some other flavors)

Steps:
- 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 feta & asparagus if desired.
GRILLED POLENTA WITH PEPPERS AND PECORINO
Steps:
- Preheat a clean, seasoned grill to high heat.
- Grill the chiles and bell peppers until charred all over, 3 to 4 minutes per side, then immediately them to a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam for 10 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel and discard the blackened skins and remove the stems and seeds. Finely dice the peppers and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Pour 4 1/2 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt in a heavy-bottomed pot set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. In a slow, steady stream, add the cornmeal while whisking vigorously to incorporate and smooth out lumps. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring continuously for the first 2 to 3 minutes. Cook the polenta until thick, and it begins to pull away from the sides of the pot, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the diced peppers, the Pecorino-Romano and butter.
- Grease a quarter-sheet tray with the oil. Pour the polenta on the prepared sheet tray and smooth out the top with a rubber spatula. Bake until golden brown and bubbling, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Cut the polenta into squares, then brush the squares with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the polenta on both sides to create grill marks and heat through, 3 to 5 minutes. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
- For the risotto: Combine the broth with 2 cups water in a large pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low gentle simmer.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
- While the onions cook, run a knife over the shredded beets to chop them into rice-size pieces, or remove the shredding blade from the food processor, insert the chopping blade, add the beets and pulse to chop.
- Add the beets and garlic to the Dutch oven. Season with salt and pepper. Add the rice and stir well to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, to gently "toast" the rice, about 1 minute. Stir in the wine or vermouth and let cook until the liquid is absorbed. Add 1 1/2 cups of the hot broth, stir, then let simmer, stirring regularly, until the broth is absorbed, 3 to 5 minutes. Continue adding the remaining hot broth about 1 cup at time, stirring regularly and letting it absorb before adding more. Keep stirring in the hot broth until the risotto is loose and creamy and the grains of rice are tender with a tiny hint of an al dente bite (you may not use all of the broth), about 25 minutes total.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, grated cheese and the 2 ounces goat cheese. Stir until evenly incorporated. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper, as needed.
- While the risotto cooks, make the goat cheese medallions: Slice the goat cheese into 3/4-inch-thick rounds. If desired, use your hands to gently form each into a heart shape.
- Put the flour and panko in two separate shallow baking dishes. Season each with a pinch of salt. In a third dish, beat the egg with 2 tablespoons water until frothy.
- Dip each of the goat cheese medallions in the flour until well coated, then dip into the egg, then finally in the panko until fully coated, then back into the egg, then again in the panko for a final coat. (The double panko coat will make these extra crunchy!)
- Place the medallions on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and bake until crunchy and golden, about 10 minutes.
- Divide the risotto into serving bowls and top with the crispy goat cheese medallions. Serve immediately.
PINK RISOTTO WITH BEET GREENS AND ROASTED BEETS
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.

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.
