Thanks Louise - there are lots of other factors that are contributing to them being good or not so good. I'm having to play with the recipe!

Butternut Squash Risotto

#13 Unread post by artyfartymack » Sat May 02, 2009 12:29 pm

Serves 4

3x chicken breasts
1 large butternut squash
4 x rashers bacon
1 large red onion
handfull of mushrooms
Vegtable stock
Glass of white wine

How to:

Cut butternut squash in half, scoop out seeds and put a knob of butter and some garlic in the hole.

Roast in a hot oven 200 for approx 45 mins or until really soft and golden.

Whilst the squash is roasting, fry up some chopped bacon, diced chicken, diced mushrooms and your red onions diced and put to one side once cooked.

Start off your risotto rice (ignore the bit on the back of the packet about also doing your onions) in butter and add wine as instructed. I find you need double the amount of stock and add it really slowly, cooking and stirring rice for just over ½ an hour. It’s really laborious, but the longer you take the nicer and creamier the risotto rice becomes.

Once your squash is cooked, scoop out all the flesh and add to the cooked rice and all of your other cooked ingredients. You can also add mixed herbs or similar for added taste.

Stir it all in together in your wok on a low heat so it all warms up again.

Serve sprinkled with chopped fresh chives.

Good luck
xx
