Ingredients:

Serving

6 cups chicken broth
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
2 large red beets, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 small onion, chopped
2 tsp garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry red wine
salt and pepper

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
In a medium pot, warm the broth over medium heat.
In a large skillet or medium dutch oven, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium high heat.
Stir in the rice to coat with the oil, toast for 2 minutes.
Add the beets, onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the wine and cook until absorbed into the rice, then begin adding broth a couple of ladles at a time, stirring with each addition, until the rice is cooked, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
While the risotto is cooking, you can roast 1 pound trimmed asparagus (cut on diagonal into 1 inch pieces) with tossed with olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper in a 425 degree oven for 10 minutes.
Serve shallow bowls of beet risotto - garnish with feta & asparagus if desired.
