-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 Pounds butternut squash
2 Tablespoons each butter and olive oil
1 1/2 Cups onion -- diced
1 Tablespoon garlic -- minced
2 1/2 Cups arborio rice
3/4 Cup dry white wine
7 Cups rich chicken or vegetable stock
1 1/2 Cups freshly grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese
1 tsp grated lemon zest
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground pepper
--Garnish--
Chopped chives
shaved Parmesan and basil oil
Peel the squash and remove seeds. Cut into small 1/4 inch dice. Set aside.
Heat the butter and oil together in a deep saucepan and saute the onions and
garlic until soft but not browned. Add the squash and rice and continue to
saute and stir for 2-3 minutes longer. Add wine and stir until absorbed. Add
stock in 1/2 cup increments stirring until absorbed. Continue adding stock
and stirring until rice is creamy on outside but has some texture to it.
Gently stir in cheese, zest, nutmeg and correct seasoning with salt and
pepper. Serve immediately in warm bowls garnished with chopped chives,
additional Parmesan and a drizzle of fresh basil oil, if desired.
