Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb carnaroli rice
4 ounces white onions, finely chopped
2 cups red beet juice
1 bunch red beet, tops finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
4 cups vegetable stock
4 ounces white wine

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 tablespoons grated parmigiano

  • Add the beet tops and mix well.
  • Add the rice and toast for a few seconds.
  • Sprinkle the wine and let it evaporate.
  • Add stock, enough to cover the rice and simmer.
  • Halfway through, add all the beet juice and continue simmering.
  • Altogether this should take 16 to 18 minutes.
  • Do not add too much stock towards the end, keeping in mind that the risotto is to be creamy not soupy.
