The squash can be roasted in advance, and then reheated in the risotto
Method
- Set oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6. Spread the squash out on a baking tray and spray with 1-2 sprays of oil, and turn the pieces in the oil. Cook in the oven for 20 -30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour 600ml water into a pan, add the stock cube and bring to the boil. Add the rice and onion, simmer for 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally, until the water is almost absorbed and the rice is just tender. Add more water if needed.
- Just before serving, stir the sage and season. Roughly chop the squash and pile on top.
