Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Boil the water in a pot or saucepan and crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amounts).
  • Cut the butternut squash in half. Scoop out the seeds and the stringy part of the flesh, then use a peeler to peel half of the butternut squash. Cut half of the squash into 0.5cm thick crescents and finely dice the rest. 
  • Add the diced squash to the stock, then boil for 10 - 12 minutes or until soft. Blend until smooth with an immersion blender.
Roast
2
  • Add the sliced squash to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Mix with a drizzle of olive oil, the thyme and some salt and pepper, then roast in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes.
  • Finely chop the onion and press or mince the garlic. 
  • Heat a lidded deep frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Fry the onion and garlic for 1 - 2 minutes. 
  • Add the risotto rice to the pan and fry for 1 minute. Add half of the butternut squash stock and bring to a boil, then put the lid on and let the risotto cook over low heat. Allow the stock to slowly incorporate, stirring regularly and gently. 
Make the risotto
3
  • Add the rest of the stock to the risotto and again allow it to incorporate slowly, stirring regularly. 
  • In the meantime, heat a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast the pine nuts for 1 - 2 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Toast the pecan nuts and hazelnuts in the same pan for 1 - 2 minutes until golden brown. Turn off the heat and add 1 tsp of honey and some salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
  • When cooled down, roughly chop the nuts. Zest the lemon and cut it into wedges.
Mix
4
  • In a salad bowl, mix the extra virgin olive oil with the rest of the honey, mustard, the juice of 1 lemon wedge per person and some salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cut off the base of the endive and discard. Halve the endive lengthways and remove the tough core. Roughly chop the endive.
  • Peel and core the pear, then dice the flesh.
Finish
5
  • Mix the salad leaves, pear and endive in the salad bowl with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper, and top with the pine nuts and crema di balsamico. 
  • Grate the Parmigiano Reggiano.
  • Add a knob of butter, half of the Parmigiano Reggiano and goat's cheese, the lemon zest and the juice of one lemon wedge per person to the risotto. Mix well. 
  • Roughly chop the basil leaves. 
Serve
6
  • Serve the roasted butternut squash on a plate with the rest of the goat's cheese. Season with salt, pepper and extra virgin olive oil to taste. 
  • Serve the risotto on deep plates. Top with the basil, the rest of the Parmigiano Reggiano and the sweet nut crumble.
  • Serve with the endive and pear salad.
