DIRECTIONS
For the beet purée :

In a new pot, with a tablespoon of oil, sauté the onion until fragrant. Add the rice and bay leaf, cook for 2 minutes, then pour the wine in the pot and allow it to reduce by ¾. Ladle in the stock little by little, making sure to stir frequently.
Once the risotto has reached the desired texture, stir in the beet puree and finish off with the butter, cheese, crème, herbs, salt and pepper
For the garnish:
Blanch the vegetables in salted water. Sauté with butter and season as needed.
Serve the risotto in a medium sized bowl and top with the sautéed vegetables.
