    Celiac.com 12/14/2016 - If you're looking for a delicious way to serve butternut squash this season, look no further. This recipe combines butternut squash with rich, creamy risotto to deliver a dish that might just become a holiday favorite.

    Ingredients:

    • 5 cups hot chicken stock, plus more as needed
    • 2½ cups cubed butternut squash
    • 1 cup Arborio rice
    • 3 tablespoons butter
    • ½ medium onion, minced
    • ½ cup dry white wine
    • ⅓ cup grated Romano cheese
    • salt and ground black pepper to taste

    Directions:
    Place squash cubes into a steamer basket in a saucepan.

    Steam squash 10 to 15 minutes, until tender.

    When done, drain squash, and mash in a bowl with a fork.

    Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat.

    Add onion; cook and stir for 2 minutes until the onion begins to soften, then stir in the rice.

    Keep cooking and stirring about 5 minutes more, until the rice turns glossy from the butter, and the onion starts to brown on the edges.

    Pour in the white wine; cook, stirring constantly, until the wine evaporates.

    Stir in the mashed squash and about one-third of the hot chicken stock; lower the heat to medium.

    Cook and stir about 6 to 8 minutes, until the chicken stock has been absorbed by the rice.

    Add half of the remaining chicken stock, and keep stirring until stock is absorbed.

    Add the remaining stock, and continue stirring until the risotto is creamy.

    Lastly, stir in the Romano cheese, and seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.

    A good risotto is a thing of beauty, a delight to the palate, and a joy to the stomach. During my travels in Italy a few years back, risotto was one of the dishes that never let me down. I tried risottos of every conceivable type and description. One of my favorites was a mushroom risotto infused with hints of lemon. My efforts to duplicate that particular risotto have culminated in this recipe. Enjoy!
    Ingredients:
    6 cups chicken broth
    3 tablespoons butter, in small pieces
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 pound portabella mushrooms, thinly sliced
    1 pound porcini or crimini mushrooms, thinly sliced
    2 large shallots, chopped
    1 medium garlic clove, minced
    2 cups arborio rice or medium-grain white rice
    ⅓ cup dry white wine
    3 tablespoons finely chopped chives

    In many Italian restaurants, sitting down to dinner means enjoying a appetizer of bruschetta: delicious toasted bread topped with chopped tomatoes, olive oil, basil, and a splash of lemon juice.
    Bruschetta is one of those simple, tasty Italian treats that can make sipping your wine while waiting for your food a true pleasure.
    When I was in Italy, bruschetta was often included as part of a prix fixe dinner combination. Being gluten-free, that meant that I had to gaze longingly (and hungrily) as others enjoyed the rich, crunchy bread and the fresh tomatoes.
    When I came home, one of the first things I did was to seek out a recipe for a delicious bruschetta that was gluten-free. Below is a recipe for a simple, delicious gluten-free bruschetta that includes avocado for...
