BUTTERNUT SQUASH RISOTTO WITH SPINACH AND TOASTED PINE NUTS
Published in Cook's Illustrated March 2007. Risotto's labor-intensive reputation is enough to turn many cooks away. But this Butternut Squash Risotto uses a method that eliminates the need for continuous stirring, which allows you to tend to other dishes. Infusing the broth with the squash's seeds and fibers helps to reinforce the earthy squash flavor. Cook's Illustrated found that a 2-pound squash consistently yields a cup or so more than the 3 1/2 cups in step 1; this can be added to the skillet along with the squash scrapings in step 2.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking. Add about 3 1/2 cups squash in even layer and cook without stirring until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes; stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until squash is tender and browned, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer squash to bowl and set aside.
- Return skillet to medium heat; add reserved squash fibers and seeds and any leftover diced squash. Cook, stirring frequently to break up fibers, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to large saucepan and add vegetable broth and water; cover saucepan and bring mixture to simmer over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low to maintain bare simmer.
- While broth mixture is simmering, add 1 teaspoon olive oil to now-empty skillet and swirl to coat. Add 4 ounces baby spinach and cook, covered, over medium heat, until leaves begin to wilt, about 2 minutes. Uncover and cook, stirring constantly, until fully wilted, about 30 seconds. Set aside.
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter (or margarine) in now-empty skillet over medium heat; when foaming subsides, add onions, garlic, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add rice to skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until grains are translucent around edges, about 3 minutes. Add wine and cook, stirring frequently, until fully absorbed, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, strain hot broth through fine-mesh strainer into medium bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Return strained broth to saucepan and discard solids in strainer; cover saucepan and set over low heat to keep broth hot.
- When wine is fully absorbed, add 3 cups hot broth and half of reserved squash to rice. Simmer, stirring every 3 to 4 minutes, until liquid is absorbed and bottom of pan is almost dry, about 12 minutes.
- Stir in about 1/2 cup hot broth and cook, stirring constantly, until absorbed, about 3 minutes; repeat with additional broth 2 or 3 more times, until rice is al dente. Turn off the heat, stir in remaining 1 tablespoon butter/margarine, Parmesan, sage, and nutmeg; drain excess liquid from spinach and gently fold in spinach and remaining cooked squash. If desired, add up to 1/4 cup additional hot broth to loosen texture of risotto. Top individual servings of risotto with toasted pine nuts; serve immediately.
ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH RISOTTO
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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425º F.
- Peel the squash, then dice it into ½ -inch cubes. This should yield about 4 cups of diced squash. Add the squash to a baking dish. Season it with the salt and pepper and drizzle it with the olive oil. Spread the cubes evenly and roast the squash for about 25 minutes or until the edges have started to caramelize, stirring occasionally. Remove from the oven and set aside. Because it shrinks during roasting, you should have about 2 cups roasted squash.
- While the squash is in the oven, prepare the other vegetables. Trim the leek, discarding most of the green part, but saving about two inches. Cut the leek lengthwise, wash it very well, then slice it into ¼-inch pieces. Cut the shallots from top to bottom, chop it into ribbons, and then into small ¼-inch pieces. Set them both aside.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable stock to a simmer, cover, and keep warm.
- While the vegetable stock is simmering, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a heavy-bottomed, wide, and shallow pan or skillet. Add the sage leaves and fry them for a minute or two, until crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper-lined dish.
- To the same skillet or pot, add the butter over medium heat and, once it is melted, add the leeks and the shallots, season with ½ tsp. of salt and freshly ground pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes. Stir in the rice. Toast the rice stirring well for about 2 minutes, or, until the grains begin to become translucent around the edges.
- Next, add the wine and the thyme, and cook slowly until the wine is nearly all absorbed; about 2 minutes.
- Add one ladle of the hot stock to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed. Add another ladle of stock and stir frequently until the liquid is absorbed again. Repeat this process until almost all the stock has been used and the rice is cooked, but still al dente. Remove the thyme leaves and discard. This process should take about 20 minutes.
- Once the rice is the desired texture, stir in the Parmesan cheese and the last tablespoon of butter. Fold in the roasted butternut squash. Taste the risotto to adjust for seasoning (this will depend on how salty your stock is). If the risotto is too thick, add a bit more hot stock, or, hot water. The consistency of a perfectly cooked risotto should not be thick and heavy, nor should it be "soupy". It should be "saucy", like a pudding, and it should slowly spread on the plate when you serve it in.
- To serve, spoon the risotto onto warmed plates, top with the toasted pine nuts, and serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese on the side.
BUTTERNUT SQUASH RISOTTO WITH TOASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS
I love risotto, but I don't love all of the fat and heaviness of the traditional recipe, so I found a more Southwestern flair that gives it a lot of big taste and richness with a whole lot less fat, and better fats. Perfect as a side dish to roasted or steamed meats or a Mexican or Spanish stewed meat. Risotto needs constant attention, so prepare something easy as a main dish or something that can be cooked earlier and left to stand, or put in the warmer.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Slice butternut squash in half; scoop out seeds and pulp in the lower center and discard. Place squash, cut-sides down, on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
- Scoop squash flesh into a blender. Add tomatillo, onion, and garlic. De-stem and de-seed the dried chiles; add to the blender. Pour in 3/4 cup beef broth. Puree until fully integrated, 2 to 3 minutes. You can add a little more broth if the squash gets too dry, but don't flood it. It should be thickish. Set aside.
- Pour chicken broth into a 2-quart pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer.
- Heat canola and olive oil in a large, medium sided pan next to the hot broth over medium-high heat, 3 to 4 minutes. Set a ladle and a stirring spoon out next to the stove.
- Add a ladleful of simmering chicken broth to the rice; stir constantly with the spoon, allowing it to simmer until broth has mostly evaporated. Continue adding ladlefuls of broth and stirring it in until most of the liquid has evaporated, adding the blended squash mixture after about 10 minutes of cooking. Continue cooking and stirring in broth until rice swells up slowly and is tender, yet firm to the bite, 20 to 30 minutes. Stir in Manchego cheese and 1/2 of the pumpkin seeds.
- Pour into serving bowls and top with remaining pumpkin seeds and paprika; season with salt and pepper.
