Cooking with Wine Recipe: Butternut Squash Risotto

ingredients

• 6 cups low-sodium chicken stock or broth
• 1 cup dry white wine
• ½ teaspoon saffron threads
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, peeled and minced
• 1 large clove garlic, peeled and minced
• 2 cups butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into ½ -inch dice
• 2 cups Arborio rice
• ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage leaves
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

procedure

1. In a saucepan combine the broth, wine and saffron. Heat over low heat.

2. In a large heavy skillet (at least 10 inches) combine the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté 5 minutes. Add the garlic and squash; sauté 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat evenly.

3. Add the broth mixture gradually, adding about ½ cup at a time. Cook on medium-low heat, stirring often, until each addition is absorbed by the rice.

4. Continue adding the broth until it's absorbed and the rice is creamy and firm but not hard in the center. Total cooking time should be 30 to 35 minutes.

5. Stir in the Parmesan, sage and pepper. Serve immediately.
