Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil.
-
If using antibiotic free chicken breasts, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.
-
If using filets mignon, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

If using salmon, pat dry. Add salmon, skin-side up first, and cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side.

1 Roast the Beets
Trim ends off beet, peel, and cut into large evenly-sized dice. Wash hands and cutting board after working with beet; it's used as a dye for a reason! Use a plastic cutting board, or hold beet with a paper towel to avoid staining.
Place beets on prepared baking sheet and toss with 2 tsp. olive oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Spread into a single layer.Roast in hot oven until tender, 20-25 minutes.While beets roast, continue recipe. -

Coarsely chop pistachios.
Mince garlic. -
3 Start the Risotto
Place a medium pot over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add rice, garlic, and a pinch of salt to hot pot. Stir occasionally until rice is toasted and opaque, 1-2 minutes.
Add wine and stir occasionally until mostly evaporated, 30-60 seconds.Add 1 cup boiling water from small pot and mirepoix base to pot with rice. Rice should just be covered by water. Stir often until nearly all water is absorbed. -
4 Finish the Risotto
Add 1/2 cup boiling water to hot pot and stir often again until nearly all water is absorbed. Repeat this process, stirring often, 18-20 minutes.
Taste risotto as you cook, checking for tenderness. When rice has no more “bite” or crunch, it's done. There may be water left.Remove from burner. Stir in butter, Parmesan, and 1/4 tsp. salt.If beets are still roasting, cover risotto and set aside. -
5 Finish the Dish
Remove goat cheese from refrigerator.
