Stress-Free Slow Cooker Beet Green Risotto
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 bunches beet greens, stems chopped and leaves finely sliced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 1/4 cups Arborio rice
  • 3 3/4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1
Heat a skillet over medium heat, adding butter to melt and coat the bottom.
2
Once the butter has melted, add sliced onions to the skillet and cook until they have lost their raw smell, approximately 3 minutes.
3
Next, add the beet stems to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
4
Add a small amount of white wine to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for just 1 minute.
5
Now, add cooked rice to the skillet and stir until it begins to change color and become translucent, roughly 2 minutes.
6
Transfer the rice and onion mixture into a slow cooker and set it to High heat.
7
Add the beet greens to the slow cooker, followed by the broth. Cover the slow cooker and cook until the rice is tender but not excessively liquidy, approximately 1.75 to 2.5 hours.
8
Finally, stir in the Parmesan cheese to add a rich and creamy flavor to the dish.
