Ingredients:

• 140g butternut squash (peeled & diced)
• 1 red onion (chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)

• Parmesan cheese (to taste)

1. Bring your stock to boil in a large pan

2. Heat your oil in a frying pan

4. Add your rice and squash, then stir in a ladle of stock

5. One the stock is absorbed add another ladle and continue until you have used up all stock
