Scott Phillips

Servings:6 to 8

Yes, cheese is often added to risotto, but that flavor gets intensified when usingcheese rind broth, too. One bite, and you may not go back to using any other kind of broth for risotto.

Preparation

  • Heat 1 Tbs. of the butter and 1 Tbs. of the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 Tbs. of the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but not browned, about 2 minutes. Add the squash and 1/4 tsp. salt. Add just enough broth to cover the squash, 1 to 1-1/2 cups. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the squash is just tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, pour the remaining broth into a 3-quart saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat.
  • In a 5- to 6-quart Dutch oven or other heavy-duty pot, heat 1 Tbs. of the butter and the remaining 1 Tbs. oil over medium-low heat. Add the remaining shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but not browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook until the bottom of the pot is almost dry, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Using a ladle, add just enough hot broth to cover the rice (about 1-1/4 cups), and cook, stirring, until the broth has reduced to below the rice. Add more broth to cover, and continue cooking and stirring the rice in this manner until the rice begins to look translucent, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • 加入南瓜和任何从锅肉汤。反对tinue cooking, adding more broth as needed, until the rice is al dente, the squash is very tender, and the dish looks creamy, another 10 to 12 minutes. Season with 1 Tbs. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Add the remaining 1 Tbs. butter, the grated cheese, and thyme, and stir until the cheese melts. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.

    The cheese rind broth is a wonderful addition. Used it, alternating with chicken broth, and it added a whole new element to the risotto.

    I found that roasting the squash ahead of time does two things. First, it intensifies the flavor of the squash. Also, I could roast it a night or two ahead, and then just fold it into the risotto, mostly just to heat it up.

    And yes, using the cheese rind broth IS worth it :)

    Fabulous!

    This was fantastic. If at all possible use the cheese rind broth. It adds an entire other invisible layer of cheesy richness to the dish.
