  • sure-its from delicious magazine, but I can't find it on their website, I cut it out ages ago, and figure it could do with a test run...

    basically recipe is (please forgive shorthand)

    500Mls stock (states veggie)
    5tbsps olive oil
    25g butter
    2 small pink onions finely chopped
    3 garlic cloves, crushed
    5 small beetroot (approx 300g) peeled halved and finely sliced +tops if you have them
    3 lemon thyme sprigs, leaves picked
    300g arborio rice
    200mls dry rose wine (hmm will prob be vermouth used)
    5tbsp mascarpone (might leave this out)
    100g grana padano (going to leave this out, use goats cheese crumbled instead)

    Preheat oven to 200/fan 180
    bring stock +350mls water to boil. heat oil in heavy casserole, fry onions and garlic until softened, add beetroot and thyme cook for 5mins stirring often.
    add rice, stir until coated, incr heat add wine, boil until evaporates. Season then add all bar about 200mls stock heat until bubbles appear around sides. cover, adn cook in oven for 10mins. Stir in the rest of stock, test rice-if nearly done leave to rest for 5mins, if underdone cook for up to 5mins. stir in masc and half grana.
    Serves 4. 724 kcals per serving

    Just to say-the risotto was delicious-would recommend. Used chicken stock, vermouth rather than rose, regular onion, and added goats cheese to the top at the end when you add the remaining stock, and kept the lid off for that bit. It was scrumptious :j
