A deliciously easy risotto, made bright pink & full of veg by using grated beetroot! Most beetroot recipes take AGES to cook as the beets need a while to soften. With this recipe, they are cooked with the rice so have time to soften, making the risotto silky smooth and full of flavour. I like to have some toasted walnuts and parmesan on top for texture and a little kick of flavour.
