INSTRUCTIONS
2 SERVINGS DAIRY-FREE
This succulent dish has a wonderful red hue from the addition of beets and
red wine. The best rice to use for risotto is a shrot-grain variety called
Arborio, available in a gourmet sections of many supermarkets.
In a medium saucepan, bring stock to a simmer over medium-low heat. While
stock is heating, heat oil and 2 tablespoons red wine in large skillet over
medium heat. Add shallots and garlic and cook, stirring often, until
softened, about 5 minutes.
Add beet, squash, thyme, cumin and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Add
remaining 1/2 cup wine and cook, stirring almost constantly, until
absorbed. Add 1/2 cup hot stock. Cook and stir until the liquid is almost
completely absorbed.
Continue adding stock 1/2 cup at a time, making sure that most of the
liquid is absorbed before adding more, until rice is tender but still firm
to the bite. Stir in cashew cream and season with salt and pepper. Cook,
stirring for 5 minutes more. Stir in beans and truffle oil. Serve warm.
