BAKED BUTTERNUT SQUASH "RISOTTO" RECIPE BY TASTY



Baked Butternut Squash

Here's what you need: olive oil, large yellow onion, garlic, fresh rosemary, short-grain brown rice, vegetable broth, butternut squash, salt, pepper, fresh sage, freshly grated parmesan cheese, unsalted butter

Provided by Crystal Hatch

Categories     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

olive oil, to taste
½ large yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
1 ½ cups short-grain brown rice
5 ½ cups vegetable broth, divided
2 cups butternut squash, diced
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 bunch fresh sage, optional
¾ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack at the bottom of the oven and another at the top. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large oven-safe pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until starting to brown.
  • Add the garlic and rosemary, and cook for 2 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Add the rice and 4 cups (960 ml) of vegetable broth, and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then cover.
  • Place the risotto on the bottom rack of the oven. Bake for 70 minutes, until all of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice. (It will appear dry, but you'll be adding moisture back later in the recipe.)
  • Add the butternut squash to the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Place the squash on the top rack of the oven, above the risotto. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the edges of the squash begin to brown and caramelize.
  • Make the fried sage garnish, if using: In a small pot or pan over medium-high heat, add enough olive oil for the sage leaves to sit in. Once hot, carefully place a few leaves into the oil with tongs. Fry for 10-20 seconds, until the leaves are crispy but not browned.
  • Carefully remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt and set aside.
  • Remove the risotto from the oven. Add the remaining vegetable broth, the Parmesan, and butter. Stir until creamy. (The liquid will absorb into the rice as you stir).
  • Add the butternut squash and stir to incorporate.
  • Serve immediately with fried sage for garnish.
  • Enjoy!

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH RISOTTO



Roasted Butternut Squash Risotto image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled & cut into 1/2-inch cubes (1 medium squash)
6 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 cups vegetable stock
2 shallots, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the squash with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast until golden and caramelized at the edges, stirring at least once, 40 to 55 minutes. Let cool.
  • Bring the vegetable stock to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce the heat and maintain at a bare simmer.
  • Heat the remaining 4 tablespoons oil in a large, high-sided, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic; cook just until it releases its fragrance, about 30 seconds, then add the rice and stir to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir in the wine and cook until almost completely evaporated. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add a ladleful of stock; cook, stirring constantly, until almost completely absorbed. Add another ladleful; again, cook, stirring, until almost fully absorbed. Continue in this manner until the rice is creamy and al dente (tender but still firm to the bite), about 40 minutes--you may or may not use all the stock.
  • Remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the Parmesan if using and the squash, reserving some cubes for garnish. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with the reserved squash cubes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid squash that has blemishes or soft spots.
  • Roast the butternut squash before adding it to the risotto: Roasting the squash will help to caramelize the natural sugars and give it a slightly sweet and nutty flavor.
  • Use a good quality risotto rice: Arborio or Carnaroli rice are both good choices for risotto. These rices have a high starch content, which helps to create a creamy and rich sauce.
  • Toast the rice before adding the liquid: Toasting the rice will help to release its natural oils and give the risotto a more complex flavor.
  • Add the liquid gradually: Add the liquid to the risotto in small increments, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming too mushy.
  • Cook the risotto until it is al dente: The risotto should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked risotto will be mushy and bland.
  • Stir in the butternut squash and Parmesan cheese at the end: Stir in the roasted butternut squash and grated Parmesan cheese just before serving. This will help to add flavor and richness to the risotto.

Conclusion:

Baked butternut squash risotto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The roasted butternut squash adds a sweet and nutty flavor to the risotto, while the Parmesan cheese gives it a creamy and rich texture. This recipe is sure to please everyone at your table!
