Equipment
- Large skillet or saucepan
- Wooden spoon
- Saucepan
- Ladle
Ingredients
- 1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 4 cups vegetable broth, warmed
- 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- CBD oil or tincture, for infusion
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low to keep warm.
- In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the diced butternut squash to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly caramelized.
- Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the rice to toast slightly.
- Pour in the dry white wine and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is absorbed.
- Begin adding the warm vegetable broth to the rice mixture, one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently and allowing each addition of broth to be absorbed before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped fresh sage and dried thyme, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the risotto from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, if using.
- Drizzle CBD oil or tincture over the risotto and stir to combine, ensuring even distribution of the CBD infusion.
- Serve the CBD-Infused Butternut Squash Risotto immediately, garnished with additional grated Parmesan cheese and fresh sage leaves if desired.
Notes
- Adjust the dosage of CBD oil or tincture according to personal preference and tolerance.
- For a vegan option, omit the Parmesan cheese or use a plant-based alternative.
- Leftover risotto can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
