A little more unusual for risotto, the pink hue is simply gorgeous, especially if served alongside vivid green vegetables.

Beet and Goat Cheese Risotto

Ingredients:

  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 large sweet onion, chopped
  • 8 ounces beets (weighed without greens)
  • 1½ cups arborio rice
  • 5 cups broth

Directions:
