Today I teach you how to make this risotto with beets that you'll be surprised just as it did with me. The first time I took it was José Carlos García, in Malaga Michelin star chef's restaurant. It was one of the dishes of their tasting menu and I was dumb when I took the first fork to the mouth.

I have to confess that he had little faith: a beet risotto? I thought it was original but not a dish you expect at a restaurant of this type. However it made me not lack more than a snack to fall in love with me completely.

A rice creamy, mild cheese flavor but with a color more than Nice and a very original taste. It is the best way to do that my son eats beets, and last week, to my father who is very special with food, fell surrendered to his feet.

A super rice that is easy to do with which you succeed at home, becoming a King to your guests.
