Directions:1. Preheat oven to 400º. 2. Toss butternut squash chunks lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of sea salt and white pepper. Spread on a roasting pan and bake in preheated oven until for tender, 15-20 minutes. 3. Combine chicken stock, orange juice, and rosemary in a saucepan. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low or a heat level that allows it to slowly simmer. 4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Add onions and saute until the onion is translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add Arborio rice and cook and stir until rice is coated and starting to toast, 1 to 2 minutes. 5. Pour in 1 cup of the chicken stock/orange juice mixture and stir until liquid is absorbed into the rice. 6. Continue to add liquid 1/2 cup at a time, stirring until well absorbed before adding the next 1/2 cup until all the liquid has been added, about 30 minutes. Remove pan from heat; discard rosemary sprig. Stir in roasted butternut squash, butter and dried cranberries. Season with salt and white pepper. Top with chopped pecans |
