About Beetroot risotto

Beetroot Risotto is a vibrant, creamy dish that combines tender Arborio rice with the earthy sweetness of beets. Originating from Italian cuisine, this risotto is typically cooked in a flavorful veggie or chicken stock and finished with Parmesan cheese and a touch of butter for richness. Garlic, onion, and fresh herbs like thyme or parsley enhance its flavor, while a drizzle of balsamic vinegar adds tangy depth. The star ingredient, beetroot, is packed with antioxidants, fiber, and essential vitamins like folate, making this dish a nutrient-rich option. It also provides a natural, striking red hue without the need for artificial coloring. While indulgent due to its creamy texture and occasional cheese content, the dish can be easily adapted for vegan diets or lower calories. Ideal as a main or side, Beetroot Risotto brings the best of comfort and nutrition in a single bowl.
