Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 bunches beet greens, stems chopped and leaves finely sliced
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1 ¼ cups Arborio rice
  • 3 ¾ cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion until softened, about 3 minutes. Add beet stems; saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add white wine and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add rice and stir until it begins turning translucent, about 2 minutes.

Step 2
Scrape rice and onion mixture into a slow cooker. Set slow cooker on High. Add beet greens and broth. Cover and cook until rice is tender but not soupy, 1 3/4 to 2 1/2 hours. Stir in Parmesan cheese.

Cook’s Note:

Substitute Romano cheese for the Parmesan if preferred.
