Butternut Squash Risotto

Butternut Squash Risotto

Prep time: 15-20 minutes

If you’ve tried your hand at making risotto before, then you know how much of a labor of love it is. Stirring constantly to develop the starchy, creamy consistency from the rice is an art form. And wowza, does your arm get tired in the process! 


Well, well, well, we are overjoyed to share that this WECO version should be quite a bit easier! We’ve prepped the rice so that you won’t be standing at your stove for ages. Yup, that’s how you know we love you. The luscious brown butter squash puree and roasted butternut & delicata squash should make that pretty clear too ;)

In your bag

  • Arborio rice
  • Vegetable stock base
  • Roasted butternut & delicata squash
  • Brown butter squash puree
  • Fresh green beans with lemon vinaigrette

At home

  • Saute pan & spatula
  • Measuring cup & water

How to prep: 

  1. Make your veggie stock! Add two cups of water to your measuring cup and pour in your veggie stock base. 
  2. Pour all of your rice and about half of your vegetable stock into your saute pan. Stir consistently over medium heat until the liquid starts to bubble.
  3. Spoon all of your brown butter squash puree into the pan with your rice and mix it up with your spatula.
  4. Once everything is incorporated and getting along nicely, scoop in your roasted squash and stir, stir, stir! 
  5. How’s everything looking? A little thick? No prob. Stir in a splash or two of vegetable stock.
  6. Repeat step 5, adding stock little by little (don’t wanna overdo it!) until your risotto is at the desired texture. It should be thick, but still spread a bit when spooned onto your plate. Season with S&P to taste!

The Green Beans

  1. Place your green beans in a microwave-safe bowl, add a few tablespoons of water, and cover with a plate or microwave-safe lid. Microwave for about 3 minutes, until the green beans are bright green and tender. 
  2. Drain excess water, then mix in the lemon vinaigrette and season with S&P.

We think a shallow bowl works best for serving your risotto. Top with a little S&P if desired. Add your green beans to the side and enjoy!

That’s it! #Dinnersolved, dinner served.
