Recipe Name Butternut Squash Risotto Submitted by TElmgren Recipe Description This is a delicious accompaniment to a fall dinner. It has become a tradition in our house to have this at Thanksgiving. I would suggest that if you're making it for a holiday meal you should go ahead do some of the prep work the night before because this is a time and labor intensive recipe. It's worth it though!

Ingredients Amount Measure Ingredient 1/2 cup olive oil 1 onion onions, medium size, diced 2 tablespoons garlic minced 2 cups Arborio Rice, white, short-grain, raw, unenriched 8 fliud ounces white wine 6 cups Soup, stock, chicken, home-prepared 4 cups, cubes Squash, winter, butternut, raw 2 cups parmesan 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold Steps Sequence Step 1 In a medium-size heavy saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute, stirring continuously, just until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add rice and continue to stir, using a wooden spoon, to coat the rice with the olive oil. 2 Add the white wine and continue cooking, stirring often, until it has been absorbed by the rice. Pour in enough chicken stock to cover the rice completely, about 3 cups, and continue to cook, stirring often, until all the liquid is absorbed. 3 Pour in 1 cup more of the remaining stock and stir and cook until it has been absorbed. Repeat with 1 more cup. 4 Add the remaining cup and cook and stir until the rice is al dente, tender but still very chewy, and most of the liquid has been absorbed. 5 Stir in the butternut squash puree and the diced butternut squash and reduce the heat to very low so that the risotto doesn''t simmer anymore. Stir in the parmesan cheese and butter to give the risotto a nice creamy finish. Spoon it immediately into heated shallow serving bowls.
