Today I made
Butternut Squash Risotto. I decided since the recipe I originally found was very similar to my old stand by risotto recipe, to use my regular recipe with a few additions. First, I added 2 cloves of minced garlic to the onion. Second, I added cinnamon and nutmeg to my mashed butternut squash. Last, I only used a 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese. By the way my old and reliable risotto recipe can be found on the side of Harris Teeter Arborio Rice.
With the assistance of my husband, the risotto was served with
Grilled Shrimp Skewers (we omitted the apple). (We have made this grilled shrimp before and loved it.) I added some fresh cut tomato to my risotto for a little color. And really who can resist farm fresh tomatoes? Overall dinner was a great success!
On a side note, my girlfriend and fellow
Produce Box recipient made Butternut Squash muffins. Note to self, get that recipe!
