I was delighted to find golden beets at the farmers market and knew they'd be perfect in a risotto recipe I was working on. And please, don't forget the baked crispy beet greens...amazing! Move over, main dish! This vibrant side will steal the show.
Ingredient:
3 medium fresh golden beets and beet greens
3 tablespoons melted coconut oil, divided
3/4 teaspoon sea salt, divided
5 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup chopped leeks (white portion only)
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup medium pearl barley
1/2 cup white wine or unsweetened apple juice
1 cup grated Manchego cheese
3 tablespoons lemon juice (Meyer lemons preferred)
