Xmas eve dinner

I wanted to make something new, festive and pretty for dinner tonight and I was successful on all three points. I made Beet Barley Risotto and I only made a few minor changes to the recipe.  I added about 2 tablespoons of cold butter at the end to make it shiny and creamy.  I also ground in some black pepper.

It’s, sadly, not quite as delicious as it looks. If I were to make it again (and I doubt I will), I’d add orange zest or concentrate or something equally zingy.

Anyway, I hope everyone’s happy and well fed this holiday season, I love you all!
