 Categories: Rice, Vegetables, Cheese, Poultry, Herbs
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      2 md Beets
      3 tb Olive oil
      1 md Red onion; chopped
  1 1/2 c  Arborio or short grain rice
      2 tb Snipped fresh basil
           +=OR=+
      1 ts Dried basil; crushed
     29 oz (2 cans) chicken broth
    1/2 c  Crumbled blue cheese
           Salt & ground black pepper
           Fresh basil leaves
 
  Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
  
  Place beets in the center of 18" square of heavy foil.
  Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Bring up opposite
  edges of foil and make a double fold. Fold remaining edges
  together to enclose the beets, leaving space inside for
  steam to build. Roast for 75 minutes or until tender. Cool
  for 30 minutes. Carefully open packet. Remove beets;
  gently transfer liquid to a measuring cup, adding enough
  water to equal 1/2 cup. Pour liquid into a medium
  saucepan. Cut beets into wedges.
  
  In a 3 quart saucepan cook onion in remaining 2
  tablespoons oil over medium heat until tender; add rice.
  Cook and stir for 5 minutes. Stir in dried basil, if
  using.
  
  Meanwhile, add broth to beet liquid in saucepan. Bring to
  boiling; reduce heat to simmering. Carefully stir 1 cup of
  broth mixture into rice mixture. Cook, stirring
  frequently, over medium heat until liquid is absorbed.
  Continue to add 1/2 cup broth at a time, stirring
  frequently until broth is absorbed before adding
  additional broth (about 22 minutes).
  
  Stir in any remaining broth. Cook and stir just until rice
  is tender and creamy.
  
  Add beets; heat through. Remove rice from heat; stir in
  half of the cheese, fresh basil (if using), and salt and
  pepper to taste. Sprinkle remaining cheese and basil over
  risotto.
