How?
- Preheat oven to 200c / 180c for fan
- Line large baking sheet with parchment paper
- Peel and remove seeds (you can roast these with some oil and paprika if you wish)
- Slice squash into 1/4 inch chunks and spread over the baking sheet.
- Cover with olive oil and dried sage and place in oven to roast for about 30mins
While squash is roasting, make the risotto:
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven proof saucepan (ideally with a lid, but you can also use tin foil)
- Add the 2 chopped shallots and garlic and cook for 5 mins or until soft
- Add the rice and mix well for 1 to 2 mins and the rice is starting to turn translucent
- Pour in the 1.5 L vegetable stock and 3 tbsp nutritional yeast, tbsp dried sage and salt and pepper
- Stir, then place lid on and put in the oven for 15 mins
- After 15 mins remove the risotto and half roasted squash from the oven. Add half the roasted squash to the risotto and stir.
- Then place both risotto and squash back in the oven to finish for 8 to 10mins.
- Remove the risotto from the oven and place on the hob, the rice should be tender. If it needs a little more cooking for risotto consistency, do so on the hob.
- Once squash is roasted, remove from the oven and serve with the risotto.
