A melting, velvety, comforting risotto without a drop of cream? It's possible!

The secret: hot broth and roasted butternut mix with rice to create a naturally creamy texture.

A simple, healthy and delicious recipe, perfect for autumn evenings. 🍂

Ingredients (for 2-3 people)

  • 1 small butternut

  • 1 jar Mon Bouillon broth (chicken or vegetable)
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • Thyme, sage
  • Olive oil
  • A handful of roasted hazelnuts

Preparation

  1. Roast the butternut: cut into cubes, drizzle with olive oil, add the thyme and sage.
    → 25 min in the oven at 200°C, until golden brown and melting.
  2. Prepare the risotto: sauté the onion and rice in a little oil.
    Add the hot stock, one ladle at a time, stirring until completely absorbed.
  3. Mix everything together: lightly crush the roasted butternut and stir it into the risotto to obtain a creamy texture.
