In a large straight sided saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil & pancetta/bacon

Just as fat begins to render, add garlic and onion

Cook until onion is soft, about 5 minutes

If garlic starts to darken, lower the heat a bit

Add in rice

Stir until well coated

Add 2 cups beet juice, stir constantly until liquid is absorbed

Continue adding juice, ½ cup at a time, until all beet juice has been absorbed by the rice, around 15-20 minutes

Stir in dairy free Parmesan, salt & pepper

Serve immediately
