Fall Vegetable Risotto Recipe

A flavorful Fall Vegetable Risotto recipe inspired by a dish served at the Chef’s Table aboard the Ruby Princess cruise ship.

I was thinking back this week to many of the most memorable dinners out I’ve had, and I discovered they almost all have included risotto of some kind. Apparently, I have a great fondness for risotto, which is odd because I rarely make risotto at home! Risotto is a simple (yet a tiny bit time consuming) dish that tastes good with so many different mix ins and foods.

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I decided to try and perfect a fall risotto recipe I could serve as a side dish on our holiday table. What resulted was this creamy Butternut Squash and Mushroom Risotto recipe, definitely worthy of a spot on our table this Thanksgiving. 

Ruby Princess Chef's Table Display

This risotto recipe was inspired by an incredible dinner I had aboard the Ruby Princess cruise ship in September. This was my second Princess Cruise and I was fortunate enough to get to experience the Chef’s Table Lumiere once again. You can read all about my Chef’s Table experience by clicking over to this blog post (it is so worth it to sign up for the Chef’s Table… the experience is an AMAZING one for food and wine lovers!).

The Ruby Princess was a smaller ship than the Regal Princess I cruised on before, but the Chef’s Table experience was just as grand. Here are a few photo highlights of our dinner!

This was just a small sampling of the food we had. One thing I’ve learned doing the Chef’s Table Lumiere twice now is you really have to pace yourself through this dinner experience. It was dreadful not being able to eat all of everything that was put in front of me, but in order to save room for tastes of it all, pacing yourself is a must!

Everything at the Chef’s Table aboard the Ruby Princess was phenomenal, however the one thing that stood out the most for me was the risotto. It was so creamy and cooked to perfection… it was the one dish I almost cried tears of regret over not being able to eat it all. It was that good!

Let’s face it…a good, creamy risotto makes a meal memorable. Serve this risotto recipe at Thanksgiving and make it a meal to remember! Enjoy!

Fall Vegetable Risotto Recipe

A perfectly creamy risotto recipe with butternut squash and portobello mushrooms.
Course Side Dish
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
Servings 4 servings
Author Dine & Dish

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon oregano minced
  • 1 cup butternut squash peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup sliced portobello mushrooms
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2/3 cup arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Toss squash, garlic, mushrooms and oregano in olive oil. Roast for 20 minutes. Keep warm.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the chicken stock in a saucepan until it's simmering, then reduce heat to low.
  4. In a separate large frying pan,melt the butter and sauté the onion until soft, but not browned. Add the rice and reduce the heat to low. Stir well to coat the grains of rice in the butter, for about 2 minutes.
  5. Add the wine to the rice and turn the heat up to medium. Cook, stirring the rice continuously, until all the liquid has been absorbed (about 5 minutes). Add the warmed chicken stock slowly, stirring continuously so the rice cooks evenly. Continue stirring and cooking over medium heat until most of the liquid is absorbed, the rice is al dente and the risotto has a nice creamy texture. This will take around 20 minutes of cook/stir time. Remove from heat as soon as the rice is soft and completely cooked.
  6. Stir in the roasted vegetable mixture and parmesan cheese.
  7. Serve while still warm.

    Don’t you just love the combination of roasted butternut squash and mushrooms? I love cooking those vegetables that way to really deepen their flavor and bring out the natural sweetness of the squash. What a great idea to add both to a risotto!

Have you ever been creatively stuck?

December 2019 my absolute favorite camera lens fell out of the cabinet I keep it in and shattered in a million pieces. I cried for days and days. I barely picked up my DSLR in 2020 because I just felt so uninspired. I couldn’t get the shots I was visualizing in my head with the lenses I had. 
.
Nick and the kids replaced my favorite lens as a Christmas gift and I’m ecstatic to be shooting again! I joined my incredibly talented friend @kimklassen creative photography Inner Circle for extra inspiration this year. Assignment 1 out of the gate and I already feel eager and excited about photography again! (You can see my “tell a story through multiples” in my Instagram story.)
.
Three cheers for bursting with inspiration again, after all this time.

Last year I couldn’t believe I was old enough to have an 18 year old. This year I look in the mirror and see someone old enough to have a 19 year old. This past year has been a lot and man, it has physically aged me! But one things solid and firm...I love my kids and am so proud of them! The resilience Jacob has shown this past year has impressed me...”graduating” high school, starting college, all when things have been so up in the air and unsure. And never once complaining about it. My kids haven’t lost a thing this year...instead they’ve gained so much they wouldn’t have gained without this experience. I’m so proud to be their mom. Happy 19th birthday @jacobdoyle02 We are fiercely proud of you and love you so much!

I always read so much in the last couple weeks of the year, I could never have my “best of” choices finalized. Christmas break is my favorite time to read read read!

I’m finishing up All About Us and The Prettiest Star, and then have this awesome stack to tackle! What should I read next? So many good ones to choose from! Will any of these make my 2020 top ten?

This is the recipe my sister-in-law uses and it is the BEST tasting, no fail sugar cookie recipe. It’s from a really old issue of @tasteofhome magazine with a frosting recipe she wrote down in the margin. I could eat so many of these and never get tired of them! If you want the recipe let me know and I’ll dm you the picture! Is making decorated cut out cookies one of your Christmas traditions?

It’s a book giveaway! I often get people asking me for book recommendations. Talking books is one of my favorite things to do! So when @librofm gave me the opportunity to give away three audio copies of any audiobook I wanted to, I knew immediately which book I wanted to share.
.
@roblowe book, Stories I Only Tell My Friends is the audiobook I recommend to EVERYONE. It is a book I listened to years ago, not expecting to love it, but I absolutely did. First of all, Rob Lowe narrates...so there’s that lovely bonus. But Stories I Only Tell My Friends is a funny, raw, emotional, informative, peek inside of the life of a really fascinating celebrity.
.
I wasn’t a Rob Lowe super fan before. I haven’t watched West Wing (I know, I know), Brothers & Sisters, Parks & Rec, or any of his TV shows, but I have always been a HUGE Brat Pack fan. Well, after listening to this audiobook I am a big fan (and his other audiobook, Love Life, is great too).
.
Long story short, I have three codes through @librofm to give to 3 people. To enter, leave a comment on this post by midnight CST on 12/16 telling me what your favorite audiobook is and why! Also, definitely check out Libro.fm - the best audiobook platform that also gives back to local bookstores!

“I can’t wait for my seasonal depression to meet my year 2020 depression.” 😩

If S.A.D is something you worry about each year, but especially this year, let me introduce you to my seasonal affective disorder game changer, the @sunrisesensations light therapy lamp. I ordered one of these lamps last year at the recommendation of my friend @leslieradams and it is the best (& most stylish) light therapy lamp I’ve ever used. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it...it’s well worth the money.
.
@sunrisesensations has a new, smaller lamp called Bright Box. The size snd functionality is perfect for a nightstand or office desk. Let me know if you have any questions about how these lamps continue to help me fight those pesky winter blues! Check out Sunrise Sensations to find the right UV free light therapy box for you!

Alright, alright, alright! It’s time to talk about how we can support our local bookstore during the holidays and beyond! As you consider buying gifts this year, make sure you shop local for all the book people on your list! One unique and super easy way you can support your favorite local bookstores is with an audiobook subscription to @librofm Yes! Audiobooks! With Libro.fm you can financially support your local bookstore AND buy audiobooks all at the same time. Each audiobook purchase supports the independent book store of your choice! Do it for yourself and buy some audiobooks for friends too!
.

If you need audiobook ideas, hit me up. I’ve listened to so many great books this year that will make it on my top favorites list, including Greenlights by @officiallymcconaughey It’s narrated by the author and is so worth the listen! Your ears will thank you!
.
PS my favorite #localbookstore @rainydaybooks is under renovation which makes it even better that I can still safely support them from the comfort of my own home!
