Ingredients

Method

STEP 1
Place half your chopped beetroot in a blender with your stock and blend until combined. Pour this mixture in a saucepan to keep warm on a low heat.

STEP 2
Put a large pan on the heat, medium – high. Add your olive oil and chopped onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add in your diced garlic and simmer until fragrant.

STEP 3
Now add your Arborio rice and the rest of your chopped beetroot. Toast these for a few minutes.

STEP 4
Add your dry white wine and turn the heat up till high. Cook for 2 minutes or until reduced and the alcohol had evaporated. Reduce the heat back down to medium.

STEP 5
Start adding in your warm stock, 1 ladle at a time. You must make sure that the liquid has been absorbed before you add any more. Remember to go slow, you cant rush risotto.

STEP 6
Continue doing this until you’ve added in all your stock and it has a creamy consistency. This should take about 20 – 25 minutes.

STEP 7
Stir through your diced rosemary and thyme.

STEP 8
Once combined, plate up your risotto in bowls and crumble the honey goats cheese over the top. Garnish with a little extra fresh thyme or try sprinkling chopped walnuts for an extra crunch.
