Instruções
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). On a baking sheet, toss the cubed butternut squash with 15ml of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and lightly caramelized.
- 2.While the squash roasts, heat another 15ml of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent.
- 3.Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Add the black rice and toast for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- 4.Add one ladleful of warm vegetable broth to the rice, stirring until it's mostly absorbed. Continue adding the broth one ladle at a time, allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. This process will take about 35-40 minutes until the rice is tender but still has a slight chew.
- 5.In the last 5 minutes of the risotto cooking, heat a small skillet over medium-high heat with a tiny drizzle of oil. Add the sage leaves and fry for 30-60 seconds until crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain.
- 6.Once the risotto is cooked, remove it from the heat. Gently stir in the roasted butternut squash cubes and the fresh lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- 7.Divide the risotto between two bowls and garnish with the crispy sage leaves before serving.
