What you will need:
- 450g beetroot
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 50g butter
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 250g risotto rice
- 150ml white or red wine
- 1 pack of Sadie’s Kitchen Comforting Chicken Bone Broth
- 125g soft goats cheese
- 75g walnuts, chopped
- Wild rocket leaves to garnish
How to prepare:
- Drain the beetroot juice into a jug and add to a pack of Sadie’s Kitchen chicken bone broth to make up about 1 litre.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil with the butter in an ovenproof pan with a lid. Tip in the onion and garlic, then cook for 3-5 mins until translucent. Stir in the rice until well coated with the butter and oil. Pour over the red or white wine, then let the mixture bubble away for 5 mins.
- Add the stock mixture, one ladle at a time, stirring to prevent catching and allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding more. Continue for about 20 minutes until the rice is cooked but slightly al dente.
- Dice the beetroot into small cubes, and then add to the risotto, sprinkle two handfuls of chopped walnuts into the mix
- To serve, grate parmesan cheese over the beetroot risotto, sprinkle with the remaining walnuts and then garnish with some wild rocket.
