Categories     Mushroom     Simmer

Yield 4 main courses

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cut into ½ inch cubes
2 teaspoons garlic, finely minced
4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, de-stem, clean, cut in ½ and slice thinly (can substitute baby bella)
6 ounces crimini mushrooms, clean, cut in ½ and slice thinly
4 ounces pancetta, finely chopped
3/4 cup onion, finely chopped (or shallots)
1 ½ cups Arborio rice (my favorite is Vialone Nano)
½ cup chardonnay wine
4 cups of hot chicken stock, low salt
2 cups of hot beef stock
2 tablespoons fresh lemon thyme, finely chopped
¼ cup Parmesan Reggiano, finely grated
salt and pepper
Chopped fresh parsley (if avail)
Sage finely chopped

Steps:

  • Pre-heat an oven to 400 degrees. Heat 2 tablespoon unsalted butter in a 10" oven proof skillet on med-high heat and add the squash. Sauté the squash, shaking the pan, until it starts to brown, approximately 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the stove and place it in the pre-heated oven for 8 to10 minutes, until the squash is tender but not too soft. Take the pan from the oven and immediately add the 2 teaspoons of garlic. Gently stir the garlic into the squash. Set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a 12" skillet on medium high heat. When the foam subsides add all the mushrooms, a sprinkle of salt and a little pepper and sauté stirring often until the mushrooms lose their liquid and begin to brown. Cook 1 minute more, remove from the heat and set aside Sauté the pancetta in a heavy 4 quart pan (non-stick is best), on medium heat, in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until brown. Add the onion and sauté a few minutes until the onion is soft. Add the rice, stirring constantly, and cook for 2 minutes, until the grains are somewhat opaque. Pour in the wine and simmer, stirring, until the wine is almost completely absorbed. Then add about 1 cup of hot stock to the rice and cook, stirring often, until the stock is absorbed. DO NOT let the rice stick to the bottom or sides of the pan. Add more stock as soon as the previous addition is absorbed. After 20 minutes most of the stock will be used and the rice will be tender with just a little bite. At this point, gently stir in the sage, the roasted butternut squash and the mushrooms. Add another ½ cup of stock, the parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons of butter and stir gently to blend. Taste for salt and pepper. The rice should be creamy and tender. Divide the rice among heated shallow bowls and serve.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my risotto turned out too dry. I think I needed to add more liquid.

This risotto was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked more flavor from the roasted butternut squash and mushrooms.
