Ingredients

  • 1 cup Camel Milk
  • 1.5 cups Arborio Rice
  • 4 cups Vegetable Broth, warmed
  • 2 cups Butternut Squash, roasted and mashed
  • 1/2 cup White Wine

Method

Instructions

  1. Sauté the minced shallot in olive oil over medium heat until translucent. Add the Arborio rice and toast for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  2. Pour in the white wine and stir until fully absorbed.
  3. Add the warmed broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently and waiting for each addition to absorb before adding the next, about 18-20 minutes total.
  4. Once the rice is tender with a slight bite, stir in the roasted squash mash and Parmesan.
  5. Remove from heat and fold in the camel milk to loosen and finish the risotto to a glossy, creamy consistency.
