Ingredients

  1. 1 cuprice (I used a mix of brown rices, but you may use regular arborio rice.)
  2. 1medium carrot
  3. 1medium red pepper
  4. 1 cupbutternut squash
  5. 1medium zuchini
  6. 3strips of prosciutto (or bacon)
  7. 1twig rosemary
  8. 2garlic cloves
  9. 2-4 cups of stock (or water)
  10. 2 tbspolive oil
  11. salt and pepper
  12. 1/3 cupdry white wine
  13. 1/2-1 cup of grated parmesan cheese

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oil in medium heat. Add the rosemary twig and the garlic cloves, as well as the prosciutto slices. I prefer to cook them until crispy. When done just remove everything. Use the prosciutto later for garnish. Discard the rosemary and garlic.

  2. 2

    In the meantime prepare the veggies. Dice the pepper and grate the rest.

  3. 3

    Once you have removed the prosciutto slices add the pepper and carrot. Saute for about 5 mins.

  4. 4

    Then add the rice and stir it for a couple of minutes.

  5. 5

    Next add the squash and zuchini. I prefer to add them after the rice as it will soak the water released by them.

  6. 6

    Add freshly ground pepper. Then add the wine and let it evaporate. When you don't smell the alcohol any more add 2 cups of stock. Add the salt. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.

  7. 7

    Once most of the stock has been soaked check if the rice has cooked. Brown rice takes longer to cook and needs more stock/ water. If needed add more stock, until it has thickened. Then add the grated parmesan cheese and quickly stir with the rice, so it thickens more.

  8. 8

    When cooked place desired amount on a plate. Garnish with the prosciutto and optional scallion and parsley. Enjoy!
