Wintertime calls for hearty colorful foods like this risotto enriched with the tangy taste of goat and gorgonzola cheeses and the vivid color of beetroots.

On those long weekends when the weather is too cold and the snow falls and we are drawn towards the couch and our cell phones pretending to be social, the desire to make this delicious yet simple dish rises slowly but steadily until we leave the comfort of our seat to finally submit to the craving. This recipe is inspired by an Italian chef, Enrico Bartolini. He is the first chef in Michelin Guide history to have received four stars at the same time, including two for his eponymous restaurant in Milan’s MUDEC Museum of Cultures.

How to make Risotto with beetroot, goat, and gorgonzola cheese cream sauce.

You first need to make the vegetable broth by adding 2 liters of water, one medium yellow onion, one stalk of celery, one carrot, parsley, and two beetroots. They need to boil for 35 minutes and then you can filter out the broth and put it back on the stove with low heat.

Cut one medium shallot and place those pieces in the pan with 2 Tbsp of olive oil and 1 oz. of unsalted butter, add a bit of salt and let them soften over a low flame.

After a few minutes, you can add a 1/4 cup of broth and continue to cook it to further soften the onion without burning it. When the broth almost evaporates you can add 8 oz of Arborio rice that you previously washed in cold water and then drained. Stir the rice and mix it with the onion and the fats. You can add half a glass of dry white wine if you desire… Mix and let the alcohol evaporate, then add the broth little by little until the rice is cooked.

To prepare the cream mix 4oz of goat cheese, 2oz of gorgonzola, and 25ml of milk or half and half, on low heat mix and let them melt. You can filter this cream or leave it as is.

    This authentic Italiano risotto was absolutely delizioso! 😋

    I would only suggest an improvement to the directions…

    For direction #2 under Vegetable Broth, it says: “Cook for 5 minutes after adding the peeled veggies.”
    • I would note to add the pealed veggies EXCEPT THE ½ SHALLOT.

    For the directions under Risotto, please clarify when to add the rice. You direct us to add the rice in both step #1 and step #3. Which is correct and best?

    Regardless, you blessed us with this recipe… grazie mille! 🇮🇹
