2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp olive oil

Strain stock into sauce pan and gently reheat squash-infused stock. Over medium heat, in a heavy sauté pan, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent (approx. 3 minutes). Add salt and pepper. Add half of diced squash and sauté 3 minutes. Add garlic. Stir in risotto. Sauté for 2 minutes. Add white wine and stir. Add stock, one cup at a time and stir until each cup of liquid is incorporated. In a separate sauté pan, heat oil and add remaining diced squash, sauté for 3-5 minutes. When risotto is ready, add 1 tablespoon butter and Parmesan cheese. Spoon risotto into 4 bowls. Garnish with sautéed squash, extra squash blossoms, and grated Parmesan.

This recipe was a disaster! The risotto was bland and the squash blossoms were tough. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I used the wrong type of squash blossoms?

I thought this risotto was just okay. The flavors were a bit too subtle for my taste. I would have liked a bit more garlic and maybe some added vegetables for color and texture.
