Rich, creamy risotto is a classic candidate for the French onion treatment: the slightly sweet but totally awesomely onion-y flavor that we all know and love so well. We also add in the sweet butternut, a different category of sweet, and two types of cheese (including the tangy good creamy goat cheese), and even the funky mushrooms. French onion forever!

Meatlovers! If using whole chicken breasts, pat dry and, on a separate cutting board, cut into 1” dice. Add 1 tsp. olive oil and chicken to a hot medium non-stick pan over medium heat and stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. Add to risotto as desired.

1 Prepare the Ingredients
Cut mushrooms into 1/4" slices.
Halve any large butternut squash pieces to roughly match smaller pieces.Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate. -
2 Roast the Butternut Squash
Place butternut squash on prepared baking sheet and toss with 1 tsp. olive oil. Massage oil into squash.
Spread into a single layer. Roast in hot oven until tender, 18-22 minutes.While butternut squash roasts, cook risotto. -
3 Cook Mushrooms and Start Risotto
Place another medium pot over medium-high heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil.
Add mushrooms and white portions of green onions to hot pot. Stir occasionally until browned and tender, 3-4 minutes.Add rice and stir constantly until rice is lightly toasted, 1-2 minutes. -
4 Finish the Risotto
Add 1 cup boiling water, from other medium pot and mirepoix base to pot with rice. Rice should just be covered by water. Stir often until nearly all water is absorbed.
Add 1/2 cup boiling water and stir often again until nearly all water is absorbed. Repeat this process, stirring often, 18-20 minutes.Taste risotto as you cook, checking for tenderness. When rice has no more “bite” or crunch, it's done. There may be water left.Remove from burner. Stir in butter, half the Parmesan (reserve remaining for garnish), onion jam, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper until combined. -
5 Finish the Dish
