===Method===
{{RecipeMethod
|'''For the [[Mustard|mustard]] [[Vinaigrette|vinaigrette]] '''
| Place all of the ingredients into the bowl, except for the seasoning 10 seconds / Speed 8
| Season to taste and mix 3 seconds / Speed 5
| Reserve in a sealed container in the [[Fridge|fridge]] until needed
|'''For the acidulated [[Butter|butter]] '''
| Give the bowl a wipe with kitchen paper
| Add the [[Onions|onions]], [[Wine|wine]] and [[Vinegar|vinegar]] 5 seconds / Speed 7
| Scrap down the bowl
| Cook at Speed 1 / Temp Varoma / MC Off until the liquid has reduced by about three quarters - this could take up to 15-20 minutes
| During this time, scrap down the bowl a couple of times and check the liquid level - it will be impossible to be really precise because of the inclusion of the [[Onions|onions]]
| Remove the bowl from the body of the [[Thermomix]] and allow to cool - alternatively, if you have too much time on your hands, you can just leave the bowl where it is and start the next stage once the temperature drops to 50° C
| Attach the [[Butterfly]] to the blade
| Set for 4 minutes / Speed 3 / 50° C
| Gradually add the cubed [[Butter|butter]] through the hole in the lid (but keep the lid on between additions)
| You will hear when the [[Butter|butter]] cubes have been emulsified when the whisking sounds less noisy - obviously the colder the butter, the longer it will take
| If necessary emulsify for a minute or so longer
| Leave to [[Rest for|rest for]] 20 minutes at room temperature
| Push through a very fine [[Sieve|sieve]] agitating the solids with the spatula - you should left with a very small amount indeed of solid matter
| Pour into a small bowl and [[Refrigerate|refrigerate]] until required
|'''For the [[Pickled beetroot|pickled beetroot]] '''
| Whisk the [[Vinegar|vinegar]], [[Sugar|sugar]] and [[Salt|salt]] together by [[Hand|hand]] in a small bowl
| Add the cubed [[Beetroot|beetroot]] and set aside in the [[Fridge|fridge]] for at least 30 minutes
|'''For the [[Creamed horseradish|creamed horseradish]] [[Sauce|sauce]]'''
| Using a clean bowl, grate the [[Horseradish|horseradish]] with the water, [[Vinegar|vinegar]] and [[Lemon juice|lemon juice]] 12 seconds / Speed 6-8-10
| Scrape down the bowl
| Stir in the [[Cream|cream]] 6 seconds / Speed 4, adding [[Salt|salt]] to taste
|'''For the [[Risotto|risotto]]'''
| Using a clean bowl, grate the [[Parmesan cheese]] and set aside
| Add the [[Beetroot|beetroot]] [[Juice|juice]] 5-8 minutes / Speed Spoon / 100° C / MC Off until reduce by half. Keep an eye on this as beetroot contains natural [[Sugar|sugar]] and it may reduce more quickly than desired
| Pour the [[Juice|juice]] into a jug and reserve
| Wipe the bowl with [[Kitchen towel|kitchen towel]]
| Add the [[Olive oil|olive oil]] to the bowl 4 minutes / Speed 1 / 100° C
| Add the pearled [[Spelt|spelt]] 5 minutes / Speed Spoon / 100° C / Reverse blade - the spelt should have coloured slightly, but if not, cook for a little longer
| Add the [[Dry white wine|dry white wine]] 5 minutes / Speed Spoon / Temp Varoma / Reverse blade or until the [[Wine|wine]] has reduced by three quarters - again this can be difficult to judge
| Add 300g of the warm [[Stock|stock]] 10 minutes / Speed Spoon / Temp Varoma / Reverse blade until most of the stock has been absorbed
| Add the remaining [[Stock|stock]] at the same Speed, Temp etc - you can do this 100g at a time ensuring that before each addition, the previous stock has been absorbed. However, it is possible to add the whole 300g in one go
| Add the [[Beetroot|beetroot]] [[Juice|juice]] and continue cooking for a further 5 minutes / Speed Spoon / Temp Varoma / Reverse blade
|
|'''To serve'''
| Stir in the [[Grated|grated]] [[Parmesan]], [[Salt|salt]], acidulated [[Butter|butter]], [[Yoghurt|yogurt]] and the [[Fennel seeds|fennel seeds]] 20 seconds / Speed Spoon / Reverse blade and leave to [[Rest for|rest for]] a few minutes
| Serve on plates or in bowls with a dollop of [[Creamed horseradish|creamed horseradish]] and a scattering of drained [[Beetroot|beetroot]]
| Accompany with [[Salad|salad]] leave of your choice, dressed in the [[Mustard|mustard]] [[Vinaigrette|vinaigrette]]
}}
===Serving suggestions===
This [[Risotto|risotto]] also goes well as an [[Accompaniment|accompaniment]] to [[Fish|fish]] and [[Roasted|roasted]] [[Game|game]] birds, in which case leave out the [[Salad|salad]] leaves and [[Vinaigrette|vinaigrette]] if desired
===Variations===
Use [[Chicken stock|chicken stock]] instead of [[Vegetable|vegetable]] if preferred
===Chef's notes===
The optional [[Soy lecithin|soy lecithin]] for the [[Vinaigrette|vinaigrette]] is to emulsify the other ingredients, ie the [[Sauce|sauce]] will not separate during storage
