How to Make Beet Risotto With Goat Cheese And Walnuts

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 medium yellow onion, chopped, and sauté for 3 minutes until softened.
  3. Add 1 ½ cups Arborio rice, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, and 1 sprig fresh rosemary. Sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Add ½ cup dry white wine and cook for 3 minutes, or until the liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly.
  5. Add 1 cup cooked beets, diced (about 2 medium beets), 2 cups vegetable broth, ½ teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the beets are tender, stirring occasionally. Add more broth if needed to maintain a creamy consistency.
