Winter Squash Risotto

• 1 1/2 pounds winter squash or pumpkin
• 1 each onions chopped
• 4 cups vegetable stock
• 4 each sage whole leaves torn up
• 12 ounces arborio (short-grain) rice
• 2 medium tomatoes peeled, seeded and chopped
• 8 ounces wine dry white
• 2 tablespoons parsley leaves fresh snipped, chopped
• 1 x black pepper to taste, freshly ground

1. Cut the squash into 1 cm ( 1/2 inch) cubes, discarding skin and seeds.
2. In a heavy-bottomed frying pan, large enough to take all the ingredients with room to spare, fry the onions in a little of the stock, until tender, without browning.
3. Bring the rest of the stock to a boil, in a separate pan.
4. Turn the heat down as much as possible to keep warm, without actually boiling constantly.
5. Add the sage and pumpkin to the onions and stir for about a minute, before adding the rice.
6. Continue stirring for another minute.
7. Add the tomatoes, wine, salt and pepper, and simmer, stirring until the wine has evaporated.
8. Add a couple of ladles of the hot stock.
9. Simmer, again stirring until the liquid has evaporated.
10. Repeat until the rice is tender, but still Al Dente.
11. Stir in the parsley, check the seasoning and serve.
