Directions
Beet Risotto With Walnuts and Gorgonzola Cheese, So delicious! I was skeptical of the beets, but they are very yummy in this dish, and the shallots and Gorgonzola help mellow them out A neighbor gave us his CSA for the week when he went out of town, and this recipe was included with the farm newsletter , This was very good! We used sodium-free chicken broth and I still thought it was quite salty (probably because there’s so much salt in the cheese and we’re used to low-salt food) Next time, I’ll omit the salt altogether We also think it would benefit from more walnuts and that it would be even better with toasted walnuts, so we’ll use 1/2 cup of toasted walnuts next time This is so tasty if you are a blue cheese lover!, We enjoyed this beet risotto for dinner tonight It involved very little prep and looked pretty on the plate We followed the recipe as posted except for omitting the sea salt based on other reviews and because my veggie broth was not unsalted Thanks for posting
