This recipe is the perfect fall dinner. Creamy and sweet butternut squash and nutty brown butter is the perfect combination of flavors for those cool fall nights! Just add chicken stock (and wine if desired!) and dinner is ready in under and hour!
If you want to cook the Risotto in a Pressure Cooker or InstantPot, check out the instructions below.

Ingredients

3 Tbsp Roasted Shallot Infused Olive Oil, divided
-
1 tsp Smokey Bacon Sea Salt
-
2 cups Butternut Squash, chopped
-

1 cup White Wine

4-5 cups Vegetable Broth
-
1lb Ground Sausage
-
Sage Leaves, to finish
-
Parmesan, to finish
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400F. Toss butternut squash with 1 tbsp olive oil and sea salt. Roast until tender, about 40 mins.
Meanwhile in a large wide skillet heat remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add sausage and brown. Add 2 cups of rice and stir until well coated. Toasted for 3-4 minutes.
Add wine and stir continually. Allow to fully cook off.

Recipe Note
Pressure Cooker or Instant Pot Instructions:
Set machine to Sauté and add the olive oil. Add sausage and let brown. Add risotto mix and stir to coat . Cook 1-2 minutes until slightly toasted. Add wine and stir until fully evaporated (cooked-off). Add butternutsquash and stock and reset machine. Close lid and set pressure to High for 7 minutes. A natural release is better however a quick release still works well.
(Takes about 20 minutes total). Finish withsage and grated parmesan cheese. Allow to rest at least 10 minutes before serving. The flavors intensify as it cools.
Looking to Buy an InstantPot?
If you don't yet have a Pressure Cooker but are considering one, I am a huge fan of my 7qt Instant Pot Duo. I cook a huge variety of grains, meats, and soups and they all turn out spectacular (I now own 3 of these machines.)
Looking to Purchase a Cast Iron Braiser?
If you want to enjoy the classic romance of cooking low and slow, you have to get check out the Staub 3.5qt Braiser! These beauties are enamel coated, cast iron, and have a black interior that doesn't stain. We have them available in our Bozeman, Montana retail store or you can purchase online here >>
