INGREDIENTS:
30g butter
2 tbsp olive oil
1 red onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
400g cooked beetroot, chopped
Leaves from 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
250g risotto rice
125ml white wine
900ml chicken stock
110g parmesan, grated
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cream cheese (We love Paysan Breton)
Method:
Put the butter and olive oil to a large saucepan and heat over a medium heat until the butter has melted.
Add red onion and garlic and cook gently until the onion has softened but not coloured.
Now add the chopped beetroot and thyme leaves to the pan and stir to combine. Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat and allow the colour of the beetroot to spread throughout the ingredients. Continue stirring for another 2 minutes until the rice begins to look translucent.
Pour the white wine into the pan and allow to bubble while stirring continuously. Add a ladleful of chicken stock and stir until all the liquid has been absorbed.
