Butternut Squash & Sage Risotto

Butternut Squash Brown Onion Garlic Clove Risotto Rice Vegetable Stock Fresh Sage Parmesan
  • Peel and cube the butternut squash into 1cm pieces. Finely chop the onion and garlic. Pick the sage leaves from their stalks and chop them roughly.

  • Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, around 5 minutes.

  • Add the butternut squash and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender.

  • Stir in the rice and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

  • Add a ladleful of hot vegetable stock and stir until the rice has absorbed it. Continue to add the stock, one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently and allowing the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more.

  • After around 20-25 minutes, when the rice is almost cooked, stir in the chopped sage leaves and season with salt and pepper.

  • Once the rice is cooked and the squash is soft, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese.

  • Serve the risotto hot, garnished with some extra chopped sage leaves and parmesan cheese.
