How to make Beetroot leaves risotto
- Heat olive oil in a well-seasoned, cast iron skillet.
- Add onion to the oil and sauté for 2-3 minutes over medium heat.
- Add Arborio rice. Stir the rice well with the onions and oil, in order to thoroughly "coat" the rice. This helps regulate absorption of the liquid.
- Add 1/4 cup of dry flavorful white wine.
- When the wine is about 3/4's absorbed, reduce the heat and ladle in enough stock to cover the smoothed out risotto.
- When the added liquid level drops about 1/3, add more stock.
- Continue this process for about 20 minutes.
- When the rice is mostly tender/al dente, add beetroot leaves and gorgonzola.
- At this point, stir the risotto to blend in the cheese, toss with walnuts and remove your finished risotto from the heat.
- Serve.
