ROASTED ACORN SQUASH RISOTTO
I wanted to find a recipe that reminded me of a dish I ate a local restaurant once; before I became vegan. Luckily, this version is.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Place the acorn squash, cut side down on a well oiled baking sheet.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until 'fork' tender.
- Remove from the oven, and let cool for a few minutes.
- Scoop out the roasted squash from the skins and set aside.
- In a heavy saucepan, heat the olive oil on medium heat, and sauté the onion and garlic for 3 minutes.
- Add the curry, spices, and uncooked Arborio rice and stir well, until the rice is coated.
- Stir and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Combine the water and vegetable broth.
- Add the sherry, and 1 cup of the broth, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer uncovered, stirring frequently for 7-8 minutes.
- When most of the liquid is absorbed, add the remaining cups of broth 1 cup at a time, stirring and simmering until each cup of liquid is absorbed before adding the next one. (The whole process should take about 20-25 minutes.).
- When the final cup of liquid is mostly absorbed, add in the roasted squash and mix well.
- Continue stirring with a wooden spoon until the rice is creamy, yet still retains some bite.
- Add freshly ground pepper, cover and set aside for a few moments before serving.
- Garnish with pecans and parsley.
