  1. This recipe is so simple, tastes great and looks stunning. I make it whenever beets are in my veggie box. It also looks very impressive at a dinner party.
     
  2. We have a weekly organic veg box and we never know what we're going to get until we pick it up. Whenever there's beetroot in it, I make this recipe, excellent. I've made it with basmati rice when I haven't had the proper risotto rice.
     
  3. I made this without the Parmesan as I forgot to add the cheese [Oops!] and quite enjoyed it. It's even better cold. The cumin is a great touch.
