How To MakeDiet Type: Classic
Shopping List
- 300 grams carnaroli or arborio rice (about 1.5 cups)
- 600 grams kabocha squash or pumpkin flesh, peeled and chopped into thin pieces
- 75 grams butter, divided (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 cup white cooking wine, divided
- 6 tablespoons parmigiano reggiano, grated (or non-dairy alternative)
- 1 liter low-salt chicken or vegetable stock
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: In a saucepan, warm the chicken stock over medium heat until it is hot, but not boiling. Partially cover with a lid.
- Step 2: In another pot, heat 60 grams of the butter over medium heat. Add the dry rice and toast it in the butter for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Step 3: Add the raw sliced squash or pumpkin and 5 tablespoons of the wine. Season with salt. Stir.
- Step 4: Add a ladle of the hot chicken stock (about 1/2 cup's worth) into the pumpkin mixture.
- Step 5: Continue cooking until the liquid is absorbed, stirring often. Every time the liquid is absorbed, add another ladle of hot broth. Periodically use the side of a spatula to help smash the pumpkin pieces as they soften. Continue to cook in this way, adding broth as needed, until the rice is just tender and the pumpkin is soft. This will take about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Step 6: Once the risotto looks ready, stir in the parmesan, remaining 3 tablespoons of wine, and 15 grams of butter. Stir until glossy, about 1 more minute.
- Serve: Turn off the heat and enjoy immediately.
