multi-cooker beetroot risotto porridge/risotto m
2 tbsp olive oil
400g beetroot, fresh
1 onions
2 cloves garlic
250g arborio rice for risotto
250 ml white wine
1 tsp thyme fresh
900 ml vegetable or chicken stock
to finish
100g plain low fat yoghurt
1 tbsp parsley finely chopped
1 tbsp butter
Firstly turn your Russell Hobbs Multi Cooker and select the porridge/risotto program. Finely
chop the garlic cloves, onions and peel and chop the beetroot into small cubes. Place them into
the Multi Cooker and sauté for around 10 minutes until the onions have softened. Add the rice
and stir well. Close the lid and allow to cook for another 3- 4 minutes. Add the wine, stir and
again allow to cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the chopped thyme and hot stock. When the program
has finished, test the rice to make sure it is cooked – it should have a slight bite to it but not hard.
If not quite done add a little water and extend the cooking time for a couple of minutes. Stir in
the butter – this gives the risotto its shine. Serve with a dollop of the yoghurt and sprinkle with
parsley. This is a really good as a starter or as a light lunch option.
