Butternut FORGET
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Butternut on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the NOMU rub, and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway).
READY THE RISOTTO
Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 400ml [800ml]|#7DA0D7 of boiling water. Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Onion until soft, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the risotto rice. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the wine and simmer until almost evaporated, 2-3 minutes. Add a ladleful of the stock and allow it to be absorbed by gently simmering (stirring often). Only add the next ladle of stock when the previous one has been fully absorbed. Repeat this process until the rice is cooked al dente, 20-25 minutes. Remove from the heat and season. Loosen with a splash of warm water if too thick.
GOLDEN PECANS
Place the pecans in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
FOR THE FLAVOUR
When the Butternut is cooked through and caramelised, remove from the oven and place ½ in a bowl. Mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth. When the risotto is done, add the mashed butternut to the risotto. Stir through the cream cheese, ¾ of the nutritional yeast, the spinach and season.
FANCY DINNER
Dish up a generous helping of the Butternut risotto, scatter over the remaining roasted butternut, and a drizzle of lemon juice (to taste). Garnish with the parsley and the pecans. Scatter over the remaining nutritional yeast. Finish it off with a crack of black pepper. Amazing work, Chef!
