Ingredients

  • 1 beet, peeled and quartered
  • 2 cups loosely packed beet greens, stems trimmed
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 8 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  • Place the beet and greens in a blender or food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
  • Bring the water and broth to a simmer in a large pot over medium-low heat.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; cook and stir the onion in the oil until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the rice; cook and stir another 2 minutes. Mix in the beet and beet green mixture, cooking another minute. Pour in the broth mixture 1 cup at a time, allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding each batch, stirring continually; reduce heat to medium and simmer 20 minutes. Stir in the Cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Continue stirring until creamy and thick, about 3 minutes more. Serve with Parmesan cheese.
