Ingredients

• Handful of fresh sage leaves
• 4 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 600 g peeled and diced butternut squash (1 inch cubes)
• 3 tbsp coconut oil melted
• 500 ml hot vegetable stock
• 150 g mixed mushrooms cleaned and roughly sliced
• 2 tbsp coconut yogurt
• 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 1/2 cups buckwheat groats
• 1 small red onion finely chopped
• 1 clove of garlic finely sliced
• 1 tsp dried sage
• A generous pinch of sea salt
• A pinch of black pepper

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan assisted.
• Arrange the butternut squash cubes across a shallow oven tray and drizzle with 1 tbsp coconut oil. Roast for 15 minutes until tender.
• Heat 2 tbsp coconut oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and mushrooms and sweat until tender.
• Add 2/3 of the roasted squash and all of the buckwheat to the pan. Season well and add the dried sage. Stir well to combine.
• Add the hot stock to the pan and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until all the liquid has evaporated – about 15 minutes. Stir regularly.
• Whilst the risotto cooks, add the remaining squash to a blender with the coconut milk yogurt, apple cider vinegar and nutritional yeast. Season with a little salt and pepper and blend until creamy.
• Heat the remaining oil in a pan over a medium heat and add the sage leaves. Coat them in the oil and fry until crisp.
• When all the liquid has evaporated from the risotto, add the creamy squash and yogurt mixture and stir through until well combined and the risotto is cooked through.
• Scatter with crispy sage to serve.
