Ingredients
1 spray Spray olive oil |
16 ounces Yellow squash (cut into 1/2 inch dice) |
1 tsp. Olive oil |
1 clove Garlic, raw (minced) |
1 medium White onions (diced) |
2 Tbsp. Pumpkin seeds (pepitas) |
1/2 cup Arborio rice |
1/2 cup No salt added vegetable stock |
2 cup Water |
1/8 tsp. Salt |
1 Tbsp. Fresh oregano |
6 Ounces Fresh atlantic salmon (skin removed and cut into small strips) |
1 ounce Parmesan cheese (grated) |
1 to taste Black pepper |
Instructions
While the squash is cooking, heat the olive oil over medium-heat in a medium sized stock-pot. Add the minced garlic and cook slowly. Do not allow to brown.
When the garlic is soft and translucent, add the onions and pumpkin seeds and cook until the onions are translucent. Add the risotto and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the chicken broth. Stir well. Cook for one minute, then add 2 cups of water and the salt.
Cook over medium-heat, stirring occasionally so that the rice will not stick to the bottom. After about 15 minutes, check to see if the rice is done. Add more water, 1/4 cup at a time as needed.
Add the salmon strips and oregano when the rice is soft but not mushy. Cook for about 3 minutes, then add the roasted squash and the parmesan cheese. Stir and cook for another minute over very low heat. Season with pepper to taste and serve.
