OVEN-CARAMELISED Butternut
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Butternut pieces on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until golden, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
GO RISOTTO!
Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 500ml of boiling water. Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the diced Onion until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add in the rice, grated garlic, Paprika and stir until coated, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the wine and simmer until evaporated. Add a ladleful of stock and allow it to be absorbed by gently simmering (stirring regularly). 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.
TOASTED NUTS & CRISPY SAGE
When the risotto has 10 minutes remaining, place the Pecan Nuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until beginning to pop and turn brown, 3-5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool. Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and 30g of butter. Once foaming, fry the sage leaves until crispy, 1-2 minutes per side. (To make this easier, use tongs if you have them!) Drain on paper towel. Reserve the sage-infused butter for serving.
SMOOTH MASH
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 and add to the risotto. Stir through ¾ of the cheese until melted and evenly distributed. Season.
JUST ONE MORE THING…
Toss the rinsed Green Leaves with a drizzle of olive oil, seasoning, and ½ the Balsamic Reduction (to taste).
DECADENT RISOTTO
Dish up a generous mound of risotto and scatter with the remaining roast Butternut pieces. Top with the remaining Balsamic Reduction, the crispy sage leaves and drizzle over the sage butter to taste. Scatter with the toasted Pecan Nuts, sprinkle over the remaining cheese, and side with the dressed leaves. You’re a natural, Chef!
