Hey foodies!
It was really tricky for me to come up with an idea for this week's steemit culinary challenge. All in one colour?! How should I manage that?
But then I realised that it's worth a try to colour all the ingredients with a specific plant that is very well known for its staining properties: beetroot. So, why not using it to make a purple coloured dish, right? That's why I came up with the idea to make Beetroot Risotto. It's so delicious and pretty at the same time.
Thank you

(for 2 servings)
Chop the onion and the garlic.
Cut the beetroot into small cubes.
Heat up the oil in a medium pot and saut茅 onion and garlic.
Add the rice and let it saut茅 for a minute.
Deglaze with balsamic vinegar.
Add 1/3 of the vegetable broth.
Add the beetroot cubes.
Stir occasionally and add the rest of the vegetable broth a little bit at a time when the rice gets dry.
At the end, you should be left with a creamy risotto. The rice should be al dente at this point. If the risotto is not done already, add a little bit of water and cook for longer.
Finely grate the parmesan.
Remove the thyme from its springs.
Add parmesan, thyme and pepper to the risotto.
Stir it all together.
Serve!
And Enjoy!
