ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH RISOTTO
Steps:
- Roast squash:
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Halve squash lengthwise and seed, then cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-wide slices and season with salt. Roast slices, skin side down, in a shallow baking pan in middle of oven until tender and golden, about 50 minutes.
- Set aside 6 crescent-shaped squash slices for serving and keep warm. Cut flesh from remaining slices into 1/2-inch pieces, discarding skin.
- Start risotto after squash has been roasting 40 minutes:
- Bring broth to a simmer and keep at a bare simmer, covered.
- Meanwhile, cook onion in butter in a 4-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add rice, garlic, and cumin and cook, stirring, 3 minutes.
- Stir in 1/2 cup simmering broth and cook at a strong simmer, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed. Continue simmering and adding broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and letting each addition be absorbed before adding the next, until rice is creamy-looking but still al dente (it should be the consistency of thick soup), about 18 minutes total. (There will be leftover broth.)
- Stir in squash pieces, then stir in cheese, salt, sage, and arugula and simmer, stirring, 1 minute. (If necessary, thin risotto with some leftover broth.)
- Serve risotto immediately, spooned over reserved squash slices.

Steps:
- Warm the chicken broth and rosemary in a saucepan over medium heat; set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes; remove to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add the mushrooms to the pot and cook until slightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to the plate; set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pot; add the onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the rice and toast, stirring, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the wine and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the wine is absorbed, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add 3 cups warm broth and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until most of the liquid is absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 3 more cups broth; return to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the rice is just tender, about 13 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat; stir in the pancetta, mushrooms, butter, cheese and chives. Stir in more hot broth if the risotto is too thick; season with salt and pepper. Top with more chives.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH RISOTTO
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, toss the squash with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast until golden and caramelized at the edges, stirring at least once, 40 to 55 minutes. Let cool.
- Bring the vegetable stock to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce the heat and maintain at a bare simmer.
- Heat the remaining 4 tablespoons oil in a large, high-sided, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic; cook just until it releases its fragrance, about 30 seconds, then add the rice and stir to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir in the wine and cook until almost completely evaporated. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add a ladleful of stock; cook, stirring constantly, until almost completely absorbed. Add another ladleful; again, cook, stirring, until almost fully absorbed. Continue in this manner until the rice is creamy and al dente (tender but still firm to the bite), about 40 minutes--you may or may not use all the stock.
- Remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the Parmesan if using and the squash, reserving some cubes for garnish. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with the reserved squash cubes.

Steps:
- Combine the chicken broth and 3 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Put the porcini mushrooms in a spouted measuring cup and ladle 1 cup hot stock over. Let soak 15 minutes. Remove the mushrooms, reserving the soaking liquid, and finely chop. Pour the soaking liquid back into the broth.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the butternut squash and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned and almost tender, about 10 minutes. Remove to a plate.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet and turn to medium-high heat. Scatter in the fresh mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are well browned and have given up their liquid and the liquid has reduced away, 7 to 8 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat in the olive oil. Let the rice toast in the skillet for a minute, then stir in the reserved chopped porcini.
- Add the white wine. Bring to a simmer and cook until absorbed. Ladle in enough of the hot stock to just cover the rice. Adjust the heat so the risotto is gently simmering. Cook and stir the rice until the liquid is almost absorbed, then ladle in more stock just to cover. Continue to stir and add stock until the rice is al dente, adding the squash in the last 6 minutes of cooking time, 18 to 20 minutes. You may have a little bit of stock left over, and that's OK.)
- Remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the butter, cheese and parsley. Serve immediately, passing additional Parmesan at the table.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the squash with 1⁄2 tbsp of oil, chilli flakes and some seasoning on a large roasting tray. Roast for 15 mins, then add the chestnuts and nestle the sage and pancetta around the squash so that they touch the baking sheet. Return to the oven for 8-10 mins until the pancetta and sage are crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside. When cool, tear the pancetta and sage leaves into pieces.
- Heat the remaining oil in a sauté pan over a low heat. Add the shallots and cook for 8 mins until softened but not coloured. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min. Tip in the pearl barley, toast for a minute, then pour in the stock.
- Working in small amounts, add the stock to the pan and cook, stirring over a medium heat until all the liquid is absorbed by the barley - about 20 mins. When there is only a little liquid left, stir in the roasted ingredients to warm through. Season to taste. Serve with Parmesan.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND MUSHROOM RISOTTO
A delicious, earthy comfort food perfect for the winter, a dreary day, or a special occasion. Risotto can be made in infinite variations with different ingredients, but for this particular combination Shiitake mushrooms seem especially key. The recipe amounts to one dish but is prepared in two parts. It is best to do both parts in parallel, but the vegetables can be done first and set aside until needed. The veggies require one active burner; the risotto requires two active burners.

Steps:
- Steps #2 through #6 are for the Veggies.
- In a medium-large skillet, heat a thin film of oil on medium-high heat.
- Add mushrooms. Sauté until oil absorbed (about 1 minute).
- Push mushrooms to sides and add butter to center. Wait until butter browns lightly.
- Add squash, thyme, salt, pepper, and stir. Sauté until butternut squash is brown on all sides (or some sides) and cooked or just under-done.
- Add to risotto in step #14 below.
- Steps #8 through #16 are for the Risotto.
- Heat the wine by microwaving gradually until hot to the touch and set aside. Heat the broth in a small sauce pan on medium-high heat until hot to the touch, then turn it down and leave it on low heat.
- In a large saucepan, sauté shallot and parsley in abundant olive oil. When brown and translucent, remove from pan with slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add rice to pan. Stir to coat, adding a tad more oil if necessary. Sauté until rice becomes translucent (with a visible white core) and slightly colored but not brown (about 7-10 minutes), stirring to keep from sticking.
- Re-add shallot and parsley to pan. Add warm wine. Stir until wine evaporates.
- Just as the last of the liquid evaporates, add one ladle of warm broth. Stir gently.
- You will repeat step #12, adding a new ladle of broth whenever the liquid is low and stirring gently, until the rice is al dente (about 20-30 minutes). Look ahead to steps #14 and #15. You may or may not use all the broth. If you completely run out of broth, use water (heated to the same temperature as the broth).
- When the rice is almost done, before the last ladle or two of broth, add all the contents of the veggie pan.
- When rice is done, turn off heat. Stir in butter and cheese.
- Let sit for 2-3 minutes covered. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley.
