Butternut Squash Risotto Recipe










Ingredients:

14 1/2 oz reduced sodium chicken broth, defatted
4 cup water
1 tsp salt
2 slice bacon, diced
1 onion, chopped
1 cup arborio rice
1 small butternut squash, peeled and diced -3 cups
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, bring chicken broth, water and salt to a simmer.
Reduce heat and keep at a bare simmer. 2. Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven or
large deep sauté pan, cook bacon over low heat until crisp. Remove with a
slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel. Discard rendered fat. Return
pan to heat, add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in rice and squash; cook for 1 minute more. 3. Ladle 1 cup simmering
broth into rice mixture and cook, stirring, until most of the liquid has
been absorbed, about 1 minute. Continue stirring and adding broth as it is
absorbed, 1/2 cup at a time, until squash is tender and mixture is creamy.
(Adjust heat as necessary to prevent scorching yet maintain a lively
simmer.) Total cooking time will be 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat. 4.
Stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan, reserved bacon and pepper. Serve hot, passing
remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan separately. MAKES 6 CUPS, FOR 4 SERVINGS.
