Ingredients

Scale

3 cups arborio rice

8 cups vegetable broth

2 cups beet juice

2 small beets, grated

1 cup white wine

2 onions, finely chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 tbsp butter

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a saucepan, warm the vegetable broth and beet juice; keep it simmering gently.

In a large pan, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Sauté onions until soft, then add garlic and cook for 1 minute.

Stir in arborio rice and toast for 2–3 minutes.

Pour in white wine, stirring until absorbed.

Begin adding the warm beet-broth mixture one ladle at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition to absorb before adding the next.

After about 20–25 minutes, the rice should be tender and creamy. Stir in grated beets, remaining butter, and Parmesan.

Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot with extra cheese if desired.
