Serving Suggestions

 

When serving our Vegan Butternut Squash Risotto, there are plenty of ways to enhance its already delightful flavors. Here are some serving suggestions to elevate your dining experience:

 

Fresh Herbs

 

Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or sage on top of the risotto before serving. The herbs add freshness and a touch of earthiness that complements the creamy butternut squash.

 

Roasted Vegetables

 

Roast seasonal vegetables like Brussels sprouts, carrots, or mushrooms and serve them alongside the risotto. The roasted veggie’s caramelized flavors and tender textures create an excellent contrast to the creamy risotto.

 

Toasted Pine Nuts

 

Add a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts to your plate of risotto. The nuttiness of the pine nuts adds a delightful crunch and enhances the overall flavor profile of the dish.

 

Balsamic Glaze Drizzle

 

For sweetness and acidity, drizzle some balsamic glaze over the risotto. The glaze adds a beautiful tang to the dish, balancing out the creaminess of the butternut squash.

 

Sautéed Greens

 

Serve the risotto with some sautéed greens like spinach or Swiss chard. The vibrant greens provide a fresh and nutritious element to the meal, creating a well-rounded plate.

 

Crusty Bread

 

Accompany the risotto with some crusty bread for a satisfying and hearty meal. Use the bread to soak up the creamy sauce and enjoy the contrasting textures.

 

Remember, these serving suggestions are just a starting point. Feel free to get creative and add your own personal touch to the dish. Whether you choose to pair it with roasted vegetables, fresh herbs, or a combination of flavors, our Vegan Butternut Squash Risotto is sure to impress and satisfy. Enjoy!

Ingredients
  

Let's gather the ingredients!

  • 5 cups butternut squash cut into small cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 5 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter
  • 1 shallot finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • cups arborio rice
  • ½ cup white wine
  • 1 tsp sage fresh, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp thyme fresh, finely chopped
  • ¾ cup vegan parmesan cheese shredded
  • pinch salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Let's Begin!

    Squash

    • Preheat the oven to 425F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the cut and cubed squash.
    • Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, then bake for 20-30 minutes until tender and lightly browned. While the squash bakes, make the risotto on the stovetop.

    Risotto

    • Heat the vegetable broth in a large pot over medium-low heat until warm, but not boiling. This is for adding to the risotto, and it needs to be warm.
    • In a large sauté pan over medium heat, add the vegan butter and let it melt.
    • Add the shallot and cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Stir in the rice and stir to coat with the butter, sautéing for about 2 more minutes.
    • Add the white wine and stir constantly until the wine is fully absorbed. Stir in the fresh herbs.
    • Add 1/2 cup of the warm broth, and stir until absorbed. Continue adding 1/2 cup broth at a time, stirring frequently until absorbed each time, until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is al dente about 20-30 minutes.
    • The heat should be high enough that the rice/broth is bubbling soon after you add it, but not boiling too much or the liquid will absorb too quickly.
    • Once all the liquid is absorbed, remove from the heat and stir in the grated vegan parmesan cheese. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
    • To serve, place in bowls and add a good serving of roasted squash, as well as a sprinkle of vegan parmesan, if desired.
    • Serve and enjoy with family and friends!
