Enhancing a bought stock with other flavours is an easy way of ensuring your risotto will taste great.
Serves: 2
For the stock
1 litre vegetable stock
2 cloves garlic
Pinch of saffron strands
2 tbsp white wine
1 tsp tomato purée
For the risotto
½ small butternut squash, about 250g-300g, peeled and deseeded
50g butter
100g risotto rice, such as Carnaroli, Arborio or Vialone Nano
¼ x 25g pack fresh flat leaf parsley, leaves only, finely chopped
25g Parmigiano Reggiano, grated, plus extra shavings to serve
If you prefer a more intensely flavoured stock, reduce it further over a high heat for an extra 5-10 minutes before adding it to the rice. Keep it hot until you make the risotto or, if you are making the stock in advance, reheat when needed.
