Beet risotto II

An updated version with home-grown beets, this risotto was delicious, filling, and even the leftovers were excellent.

Ingredients

3 cups chicken stock

2 cups water

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp evoo

1 medium onion

1 lb beets

2 cups arborio rice

4 oz parmesan cheese

goat cheese or other fresh cheese as topping

Preparation

Bring the stock and water to a simmer, keep it simmering.

In a separate pot sautee the diced onion on the butter and oil. I used frozen beets. Shred these and add half of them to the pot. 

Add the rice and cook for 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of the stock and cook constantly stirring until nearly absorbed. Add more stock, 0.5-cup-at-a-time. Stir each time until absorbed. 

When all the stock is gone, stir in the remaining shredded beets and the shredded parmesan. Cook for a minute or two.

Serve fresh, topped with crumbled goat cheese.
