Beetroot & Goat's Cheese Risotto
MB
Inspired by Maggie BeerMy Thermomix reimagining of their beetroot risotto
My Thermomix take on a Maggie Beer-style beetroot risotto — vivid pink, creamy, with tangy goat's cheese.
This is my independent Thermomix homage to Maggie Beer and the comforting appeal of beetroot risotto. It keeps the spirit of the original inspiration, but the method is written fresh for TM6 and TM7 cooks who want clear settings and a warm, achievable result.

Aly's tips
- Grating the beetroot melts it into the rice for that vivid colour.
- A squeeze of lemon lifts the earthiness.
