INGREDIENTS

1. Start by softening beets in boiling water. After 30 minutes remove the beets from water, peel them, shred them, and set them to the side for later. You can also roast the beets in the oven on 400 F for 45 minutes, be sure to coat each beet in olive oil and wrap them in foil if you are going to roast them. 

2. Begin the risotto by heating up olive oil, onions, and garlic in a wide pot on medium heat. Cook until soft and fragrant. 

3. Add in rice and wine. Stir until wine is absorbed by the rice. Then stir in 1/2 cup warm broth and a bit of the beets, stirring constantly, until broth is absorbed. Continue simmering and adding warm broth and beets, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly and letting each addition be absorbed before adding the next, until rice is just tender and creamy-looking, 18 to 22 minutes.
After that, stir goat cheese into the risotto. To finish the dish, drizzle some balsamic glaze, crack some black pepper, and crumble from goat cheese on top.

INGREDIENTS

method

1. Place a large skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat to warm.

2. Place the peppers in a mixing bowl and drizzle them with olive oil and a healthy sprinkle of sea salt. We also like to add a bit of home-roasted peppercorns or white pepper for a kick. Toss the peppers until they are evenly coated.

3. Transfer the peppers to the skillet, the peppers should start to sizzle immediately. Cook the peppers without moving them for a few minutes so they char on each side, about 3-4 minutes on each side

4. Transfer the peppers to a plate and sprinkle with extra salt and serve immediately! Best served with sauce or an aioli on the side!
