Preparation
Kitchen utensils
Hob, pots, knife, chopping board, wooden spoon
For the risotto, heat the vegetable stock and beetroot brine in a pot, then reduce the heat.
Peel and finely dice the shallots. Heat the oil in another pot and gently sauté the shallots and rice over medium heat. Deglaze with red wine and let it reduce slightly. Gradually add the warm beetroot brine, allowing the rice to absorb most of the liquid before adding the next ladle. Simmer the risotto for about 15 minutes.
Remove the Kühne beet slices from the jar and season with salt and pepper. Then stir in the butter and half of the crème fraîche. Serve the risotto garnished with the remaining crème fraîche and garden cress if you like.
