Instructions for Beetroot Risotto
Prepare the Lemon Cream Sauce
In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat. Once warm, stir in lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cook the Spinach
In a large skillet, add a tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the fresh spinach until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Add Broth and Beetroot
Gradually add the vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. After about 10 minutes, add the grated beetroot. Continue adding broth and stirring until rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes in total.
Finish the Risotto
Stir in the butter and Parmesan cheese until fully melted and incorporated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
