Farro Risotto With Squash Is Where Festive, Cozy And Tasty Meet

Make Ahead: The squash can be roasted and refrigerated up to 3 days in advance. Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days. Gently reheat over low heat until warmed through; you may need to add a little more broth to loosen the texture.

Farro Risotto With Butternut Squash and Sage

Where to Buy: Farro can be found at well-stocked supermarkets, specialty or natural stores, or online.

Farro Risotto With Butternut Squash and Sage

– 3 cups (about 1 pound) diced butternut squash (1/2-inch dice) – 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided – 1/2 teaspoon fine salt, divided – 4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth – 1 medium yellow onion (8 ounces), diced

Ingredients

– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage – 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper – 1 cup pearled (quick-cooking) farro – 1/2 cup dry white wine

Ingredients

Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees. On a large, rimmed baking sheet, toss the squash with 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned in spots, tossing once at the midway point.

Step 1

While the squash is roasting, in a small pot over medium-high heat, bring the broth to a boil. Reduce the heat to its lowest setting, cover and keep hot while you cook the farro.

Step 2

In a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil until shimmerin.

Step 3

Add the wine and increase the heat to high. Cook until the wine is mostly absorbed/evaporated, about 2 minutes. Ladle enough broth into the pot to just cover the farro.

Step 4

Continue to add more broth, a ladle or two at a time, ensuring the liquid is gently simmering and letting it get absorbed by the farro after each addition, until the farro is tender but still has a nice chew to it and its liquid is saucy, about 35 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the squash and butter, if using, and cook until the squash is warmed through and the butter is melted, about 1 minute. Stir in all but 2 tablespoons of the cheese.
