Cooking method

Cooking time: 45 min
Beets can be taken both raw and baked. The second option will be much tastier and more tender. Peel the beets, grate them on a coarse grater.

Finely chop onion and garlic, fry in a risotto pan until golden brown. Add the beetroot and mix.

Add rice (do not rinse, remember?) and fry, stirring, for one minute, then pour in the wine. Let it evaporate completely.

Pour 1/3 of the hot broth into the rice. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil, turn down the heat and cook until almost all the broth is absorbed. Add the remaining broth one ladle at a time until the rice is ready. The average cooking time is 20-25 minutes.

Add mascarpone to the finished risotto. "Beat" the risotto with a spatula from the bottom up to achieve the desired soft and creamy consistency. Season, if you think it's necessary, with salt and pepper.

Remove from heat, add parmesan, stir, and let stand for a couple of minutes. Serve with an extra spoonful of mascarpone.

How to bake beets: wash, wrap in foil and bake in the oven at 150 ° C for about 1 hour.
