Kiwi inspired Beetroot Risotto

9/18/2014

Picture
1 cup Arborio rice

1 beetroot roasted and diced

2 cups chicken stock

1 onion finely chopped

1 garlic clove crushed

1/2 cup white wine

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

50 - 100g Butter.

salt and pepper to taste.


 

Saute onions till they appear glassy and translucent but not brown. Add garlic and rice and stir frequently. Slowly add the wine, stirring continuously. Once the fluid has cooked and evaporated start adding the stock, while constantly stirring. Continue until rice is almost cooked. Add  the beetroot and stir through. If necessary add some water and allow to cook a little more. Once the rice is cooked slightly 'al dente' add butter and cheese and season to taste with salt and pepper.

To complete this New Zealand take on Risotto serve with Morrocan spiced grilled Lamb Chops and tomato relish, and green vegetables to contrast the beetroot redness.

    First and foremost, I am proudly of German and Austrian descent! However, I was born in the middle east, grew up and went to school in South Africa, then worked in the financial sector for nearly 20 years both in SA and the UK. Now, with my Kiwi husband and son I live in New Zealand and love it. I have now blended the cultures and nationalities that make me the person I am to create my own style of food. I make my own sausages, will soon be smoking them too, flavoured with tastes of Germany, the middle east, South Africa as well as the traditional English pork sausage flavoured with tastes of my childhood. Above all,the German in me stands out in all my sausages - if its not meat, it does not go into a sausage! Cakes,Torten and blends of cultural recipes are my forte - Black Forest Pavlova anyone?
