Risotto

Pour the rice into a Pyrex dish, add the broth (500 ml), salt and stir. Cook in multi-tech mode at 160°, with 300 w and 30% steam for 18 minutes.

Dressing

Chop the cooked beetroot, pour in the remaining hot broth (50 ml), adjust with salt and whisk until smooth. 

Finely chop the shallot and pour it into a saucepan with the wine. Reduce by half and pour in the cream and reduce by another half. Strain, adjust the flavour and keep aside.
