Butternut Squash Risotto image

Risotto is always a bit labor-intensive... but SO worth it! This recipe is a terrific example of how good homemade risotto can be.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin
1 medium onion, chopped
2 Tbsp sage, fresh, chopped
1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded and grated or finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 c arborio rice
1 c dry white wine (always use wine you would drink when you cook)
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 c parmesan cheese
4 c chicken stock, light

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat. Add onion, salt and pepper. Saute for 4 minutes until onion is softened but not browned. Add sage and cook for 1 minute. Add squash and garlic and cook for 3 minutes. Meanwhile heat chicken stock in a saucepan and keep simmering.
  • 2. Add the rice to the vegetables and cook for 3 minutes or so until rice kernals become chalky. This helps to release the starch in the rice and it's an important step in the creaminess of the risotto. Add the wine to deglaze the pan and cook for 3 minutes.
  • 3. You now begin adding one ladleful of hot stock at a time to the rice mixture while stirring. Do not add any more broth to the rice until the liquid is evaporated. Continue doing this until all of the stock is absorbed. This is a slow process, so don't rush it. The wait is worth it. When all of the stock is incorporated, remove from the heat and add the parmesan cheese. Bon Appetito!

This risotto was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The butternut squash didn't add much flavor, and the risotto was a bit too al-dente for my liking. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
