Risotto Rubino

Lively red ruby, creamy risotto to get into festive mood to begin to choose and plan what we want to enjoy with our guests at our holiday table.
The risotto is dyed bright red thanks to the beets, which give it color and flavor. Special rice for risotto (Carnaroli), flavored butter, chopped onion, white wine for flavor intensity, and most importantly, homemade vegetable stock! Do not miss it. It's easy to make with whatever vegetables we have in our fridge.
