Beetroot Leaves Risotto
- 1 1/4 cups arborio rice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion chopped finely
- 1/4 cup wine white, dry
- 3 1/8 cups vegetable stock
- 5 9/16 cups leaves baby beetroot
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 3/4 cup gorgonzola
- 1. Heat olive oil in a well-seasoned, cast iron skillet.
- 2. Add onion to the oil and saute for 2-3 minutes over medium heat.
- 3. Add Arborio rice. Stir the rice well with the onions and oil, in order to thoroughly "coat" the rice. This helps regulate absorption of the liquid.
- 4. Add 1/4 cup of dry flavorful white wine.
- 5. When the wine is about 3/4's absorbed, reduce the heat and ladle in enough stock to cover the smoothed out risotto.
- 6. When the added liquid level drops about 1/3, add more stock.
- 7. Continue this process for about 20 minutes.
- 8. When the rice is mostly tender/al dente, add beetroot leaves and gorgonzola.
- 9. At this point, stir the risotto to blend in the cheese, toss with walnuts and remove your finished risotto from the heat.
- 10. Serve.
