Instructions
- Cut off both the ends of butternut squash and peel with a vegetable peeler. Scoop the seeds out of the middle cavity with a spoon. Cut each section in half, then dice it into cubes.

- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan, over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until nicely golden brown. Season with some salt and pepper, remove from the heat and set aside.
- Using the same pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add celery, onions and dried thyme, and sauté for about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Add the rice and cook stirring constantly for about 1 minute. Immediately stir in 2 cups of chicken stock and cook, stirring frequently until liquid is reduced.
- Repeat using all the stock, and cook until rice is tender and cooked through. Meanwhile, in a blender, add steamed butternut squash cubes and 1/2 cup of Parmesan; Puree until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the pureed mixture into the hot rice and mix well to combine. Add half of the sautéed mushrooms stir well and adjust the flavors according to your taste.
- Transfer the Risotto into serving plates, top with the remaining mushrooms and sprinkle with parmesan. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- If you don't have a bamboo steamer, you may use any vegetable steamer or just steam or boil them in boiling water for about 5 minutes until they are fork-tender.
