Let's get cozy with this heartwarming Butternut Squash Risotto with Crispy Sage. It's the perfect dish for a chilly evening or when you want to impress your dinner guests! Here's your shopping list: * 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed * 1 tablespoon olive oil * Salt and pepper to taste * 1 tablespoon butter * 1 small onion, finely chopped * 1 cup Arborio rice * 1/2 cup dry white wine * 4 cups hot vegetable broth * 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese * Fresh sage leaves * Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling Instructions: 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the butternut squash cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. 2. While the squash is roasting, let's start the risotto. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. 3. Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to toast the rice slightly. 4. Pour in the white wine and let it simmer until it's almost completely absorbed by the rice. 5. Now, gradually ladle in the hot vegetable broth, one cup at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more. This slow and steady process helps develop the risotto's creamy texture. 6. When the risotto is almost cooked (the rice should be al dente, with a slight bite), stir in the roasted butternut squash. 7. Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. 8. For the crispy sage, heat a thin layer of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Fry the sage leaves for a minute or two until crispy. 9. Serve the risotto immediately, garnished with the crispy sage leaves and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Enjoy! Don't forget to share your culinary masterpiece with us using #SizzleAndSimmer.

LOVE WHAT YOU DO Hello I’m cathy. Founder of Posh Pudding Pots . Creating desserts isn’t just a passion for me; it’s a love story that continues to unfold with every delicious thing I make. Ever since I can remember, I have always loved baking! One of my earliest memories is making an apple cake with my mum and eating handmade marzipan my dad had just put in the fridge. So with A LOT of hard work, I created my business based around all things delicious and have never looked back. Here’s why I cherish what I do and love owning my small business: 1. Creativity: Baking is my canvas, and each creation is a work of edible art. The freedom to experiment with flavours and designs fills me with endless joy. 2. Connections: Pudding isn’t just about ingredients thrown together; it’s about the people. I have been lucky enough to work with some of the BEST ingredients suppliers over the years AND become very good friends with most of them. 3. Endless Learning: Baking is a world of never ending learning. There’s always a new recipe, technique, or flavour combination to explore, making every day a delightful adventure. 4. Sharing my Journey: Owning my business means I get to share the magic of pudding making with fellow bakers. Helping others realise their baking dreams is incredibly fulfilling. 5. FINALLY: The smell of freshly baked goodness filling the kitchen, the warm satisfaction of a successful pudding, and the pure joy in a final pudding pot - it’s happiness in every step. So given the above, you can understand why I want to make sure Posh Pudding Pots remains a passion and not a chore. Small steps achieve big goals and I can’t wait to launch in 2025!
