Ingredients

• 0.5 Chorizo (Half a chorizo; some is blended with the butternut squash and the rest is used for garnish. The size is not specified.)
• 0.5 Butternut squash (Half a butternut squash, cut into small cubes.)
• 2 verres Risotto rice (The volume of the glass is not specified.)
• 1 L Chicken stock (Add one ladleful at a time.)
• 1 Onion (Thinly sliced or finely chopped.)
• 1 c. à soupe Crème fraîche (Blend with the butternut squash and a little chorizo.)
• Salt (A little, to taste.)
• Pepper (A little, to taste.)
• Olive oil (For coating the rice; quantity not specified.)

Steps

1. 1

   Cut the butternut squash into small cubes. Also cut the chorizo into pieces and finely slice the onion.

2. 2

   Brown the chorizo in a frying pan without any added fat. Once well browned, set it aside.

3. 3

   In the same pan, cook the onion and butternut squash cubes covered, gently, until tender. The cooking time is not specified.

4. 4

   Season the butternut squash and onion mixture with a little salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Place the butternut squash and onion in a blender. Add a little of the reserved chorizo and the crème fraîche, then blend until very smooth. Set this cream aside.

6. 6

   In a frying pan, heat a little olive oil and add the risotto rice. Toast it until translucent.

7. 7

   Deglaze the rice with the white wine and let it reduce completely.

8. 8

   Add the chicken stock one ladleful at a time, allowing the rice to absorb it gradually, until the risotto is very creamy.

9. 9

   Add the butternut squash and chorizo cream to the rice, then continue cooking for a few minutes.

10. 10

    Remove the pan from the heat. Add the butter and Parmesan, then mix well.

11. 11

    Serve the risotto with the reserved grilled chorizo and a little Parmesan.
