1To prepare the Beetroot Risotto with Taleggio Fondue start by heating the vegetable stock. Then take the beetroot and wash it, cut it into cubes and blend it with a little stock of broth, until it forms a cream.

2 Take a medium-sized frying pan and let the oil cook, in the meantime wash the shallots and chop finely with a crescent. Add it to the pan and brown it well, then add the rice and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly. Add the white wine and continue cooking until it is completely evaporated. Continue to cook the rice for another 10 minutes, adding some broth as it dries, then add half of the beet cream. Continue to cook for another 10 minutes, always wetting with the stock, then add the other part of the cream.

3 Meanwhile the rice cooks the fondue. In a medium-sized saucepan heat the cream until it reaches 80 ° C. To control the temperature you will need a food thermometer. Meanwhile cut the taleggio into small pieces and add it to the pan, stirring to make it melt well. Add salt and pepper and stir until a smooth cream is obtained.
