Words from the @byronbaychef:

'Risotto can be a controversial dish in the cooking world. I've heard the lot. And this is by no means the traditional way of doing it, that's not the intention with this recipe.'

Our organic silverbeet is SUPERB at this time of year. Rich in phytonutrients, Vitamin K, A, C and so much more... 

Honestly, the organic produce coming out of the Northern Rivers this time of year is ALL amazing!

@byronbaychef says:

'Alot of people don't know what to do with their silverbeet! The options are many, soups, stir fry, frittata, pastas, risottos. And with those colours it will make any meal look prettier!'

*Silverbeet will cook on hot risotto even if your turn off stove (don't over cook it or it will loose colour).

Serve with you favourite cheese if you please!

Cook and season however works best for you.
