Butternut Squash & Rosemary Risotto

Enjoy the rich and creamy flavors of this vegan risotto made with butternut squash and rosemary. The crunch of the pistachios and the hint of lemon make it even better.

Ingredients:

1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and diced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup Arborio rice
4 cups vegetable broth
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1/4 cup pistachios, chopped
1 lemon, zest and juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Turn on the oven and heat it up to 400F 200C

Spread the diced butternut squash out on a baking sheet after tossing it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil

Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until soft and slightly caramelized

Put the last tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet and set it over medium-low heat

Put in the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until it gets soft

Cut up the garlic and add it

Cook for one more minute

The Arborio rice should be cooked for one to two minutes, until it starts to get a little toasty

Add the vegetable broth slowly, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring often and waiting for the liquid to soak in before adding more

After the rice has soaked up all the broth and become creamy and soft, add the nutritional yeast, chopped rosemary, pistachios, and roasted butternut squash

Take it off the heat and add the lemon juice and zest

Add pepper and salt to taste

If you want, you can serve it hot with extra chopped pistachios and a sprinkle of fresh rosemary on top
