I made butternut squash orzo risotto. I had never tasted winter squash before???both the acorn and butternut squash proved to be surprisingly sweet, and uh, squashy. This risotto is a great way to use up that bumper crop of summer squash you'll inevitably acquire. Just grate it on a box grater while the rice is cooking ??? it's much faster and easier than dicing it all up.
Steps to make Squash Risotto:
- Heat the oil in medium heat. Add the rosemary twig and the garlic cloves, as well as the prosciutto slices. I prefer to cook them until crispy. When done just remove everything. Use the prosciutto later for garnish. Discard the rosemary and garlic.
- In the meantime prepare the veggies. Dice the pepper and grate the rest.
- Once you have removed the prosciutto slices add the pepper and carrot. Saute for about 5 mins.
- Then add the rice and stir it for a couple of minutes.
- Next add the squash and zuchini. I prefer to add them after the rice as it will soak the water released by them.
- Add freshly ground pepper. Then add the wine and let it evaporate. When you don't smell the alcohol any more add 2 cups of stock. Add the salt. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Once most of the stock has been soaked check if the rice has cooked. Brown rice takes longer to cook and needs more stock/ water. If needed add more stock, until it has thickened. Then add the grated parmesan cheese and quickly stir with the rice, so it thickens more.
- When cooked place desired amount on a plate. Garnish with the prosciutto and optional scallion and parsley. Enjoy!
Making risotto has never been easier, thanks to an electric pressure cooker, like the Instant Pot. Reviews for: Photos of Instant Pot Butternut Squash Risotto.
