Butternut Squash and Sage Risotto

gluten-freepescatarianvegetarian

Ingredients

Roasted Squash

Risotto

Method

1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan. Roast 25-30 minutes, stirring once, until tender and caramelized at the edges.

2

Meanwhile, bring the vegetable broth to a low simmer in a saucepan and keep it warm on the back burner.

3

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a wide, heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook 4-5 minutes until soft. Add the rice and stir 1-2 minutes until the edges look translucent.

4

Pour in the white wine and stir until mostly absorbed, about 1-2 minutes.

5

Add the warm broth one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently and waiting for each addition to be mostly absorbed before adding the next. Continue for 20-25 minutes until the rice is creamy and just tender.

6

Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, parmesan, and chopped sage. Fold in two-thirds of the roasted squash, mashing it slightly into the risotto; reserve the rest for topping. Season with salt and pepper.

7

Divide the risotto among bowls, top with the reserved roasted squash and a few sage leaves, and finish with extra parmesan.

Top each bowl with reserved roasted squash cubes, a few sage leaves, and extra parmesan.

Notes

  • Fry a few extra sage leaves in butter until crisp for a nice garnish.
  • Keep the broth at a gentle simmer so it doesn't cool the risotto down when added.
  • Leftover risotto can be formed into patties and pan-fried for arancini-style cakes the next day.
