Agree. Boiled beetroot doesn't cut it 😊

Charlotte Augst @charlotteaugst.bsky.social · 9h

Ah cool. I just imagine only boiling it won't taste so nice. Frying or roasting required. IMO...

Your garden will get there.
In the meantime, enjoy it how it is.

Richard is such a bloody gentleman. I remember how comfortable he made me feel during this interview, when I was quite nervous.

That's 1 way to do it, Charlotte. But today I grated the beetroot and fried it off with onion for about 6 minutes before adding the rice, wine and stock. As long as it's cut finely enough, it cooks well.

Charlotte Augst @charlotteaugst.bsky.social · 9h

Oh yum. Do you roast the beetroot and then add it to the rice?

Prof Jo Barraket AM @jobarraket.bsky.social · 9h

So easy. I use a pressure cooker for my risotto - perfect results without all the stirring. Just grate onion & beetroot, fry off for 6 minutes, add rice& cook til pink, add wine & cook off, add stock, cook for 7 minutes. Serve & garnish w/ walnuts, feta & parsley. Done 😊
