ROSY RED RISOTTO
This is a fun dish to serve, especially during the Christmas Season. Add a sprig or two of fresh parsley for an even more festive look. For some risotto can be a bit intimidating. It is really an easy dish to make. Just takes a little time and attention, but it is so worth it.

Steps:
- Drain beets, reserving liquid, about 1/2 cup. Dice beets - small dice and set aside. (If you don't want red hands, wear gloves.) Add reserved liquid to stock.
- Heat oil in a heavy 2 quart pot. Saute onion in oil until translucent.
- Add rice and stir until grains are coated with oil.
- Add wine (Optional - or use stock if you prefer) and stir constantly on medium heat until wine is absorbed.
- Add 1 cup of stock, stirring until liquid is absorbed. Continue cooking for about 20 - 30 minutes, adding the remaining liquid 1 cup at a time, allowing liquid to absorb before adding more. The rice, when done, should be firm with a little bite in the center, or al dente.
- Remove from heat. Add butter and stir vigorously until butter is melted and risotto is creamy.
- Gently stir in the diced beets and serve.
