Beet Risotto


Beet Risotto
A play on Borscht, this risotto is tangy and light, giving you a summery version of the usual heavy risotto. The relish may seem like a surprise in this recipe, but it all works together to create a light and fresh combination of flavors that’ll have you rethinking everything you know about egg, beets, and risotto.
