Butternut Squash Risotto

January 19, 2015 by Hannah Cox 2 Comments

If you have time (approx. 45 mins) and a lot of patience (lots of stirring!), butternut squash risotto is one of my favourite recipes. This recipe serves 2-4 people and is perfect for all you Veganuary participants!

Just because this recipe contains healthy ingredients doesn’t mean that you should eat it all the time, though it may be delicious! It can easily become unhealthy with over indulgence. With a sensible potion size, it is a healthy meal which is fresh and filling. If you want to be even healthier, serve with a salad or green beans. You could even swap out the risotto rice for brown rice…

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp Sunflower Oil

Method

  1. Pour the water into a pan and place over medium heat
