This recipe comes from the Cooking Light cookbook. Cooking Light used to be a magazine. It was owned by Sunset magazine, a west cost magazine. I still get it and enjoy it even thought I am stuck in TN. Not having a good time lately. All the time I was stirring this I thought of a friend who died who loved to cook as much as I do.
Ingredients:
2 cans (14.5 oz. each) low sodium chicken broth
1/2 C water
1 T unsalted butter
Course salt and ground pepper
1 C Arborio rice
1/2 C dry white wine
1/3 C grated Parmesan cheese, + more for garnish
1 T chopped fresh sage + more for garnish
Directions:
- In a medium saucepan, bring broth and water to a simmer over medium heat, cover pan.
- Meanwhile, in a medium Dutch oven or heavy pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add squash, season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often until edges soften, 6-8 minutesAdd rice and cook stirring until translucent around the edges about 1 minute.
- Add wine, cook, stirring until evaporated, about one minute. reduce heat to medium-low. Add 1/2 C hot broth . Cook stirring until almost all liquid is absorbed. Repeat process gradually adding broth until rice is cooked and liquid is creamy, about 25 minutes. (I have a ladle that is 1/2 C, makes adding the liquid very easy.)
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan and sage, if desired.
- To make this a one dish meal, I added a can of chicken meat toward the end.
