This is a relatively basic dish that's neither high in calories, nor in cost. Beets are usually very affordable, as is arborio rice. The recipe calls for Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, however you could most likely substitute it with a more reasonably priced Parmesan cheese or other hard-rind cheese such as Pecorino Romano. If you don't have any white wine on hand, you could use dry Vermouth instead. |
