Roasted Butternut Squash Risotto Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cubed butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 onion, minced
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 1/3 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh sage leaves for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the butternut squash cubes with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender and caramelized. Set aside.
- In a small pot, warm the chicken stock over low heat.
- In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced onion and cook until translucent.
- Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir for a couple of minutes until the edges become translucent.
- Pour in the white wine and stir until it’s fully absorbed by the rice.
- Begin adding the warm chicken stock, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next.
- After about 20 minutes, the rice should be creamy and al dente. At this point, stir in the roasted butternut squash and Parmesan cheese.
- Season with additional salt and pepper if needed, garnish with fresh sage leaves, and serve immediately.
