Ingredients

• ✓ pasilla chile pepper
• black pepper
• salt
• paprika
• squash seed kernel
• pumpkin seed
• manchego cheese
• arborio rice
• olive oil
• canola oil
• chicken broth
• beef broth
• red chile pepper
• garlic
• onion
• tomatillo
• butternut squash

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2. 2 Slice butternut squash in half; scoop out seeds and pulp in the lower center and discard. Place squash, cut-sides down, on the prepared baking sheet.
3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until tender, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
4. 4 Scoop squash flesh into a blender. Add tomatillo, onion, and garlic. De-stem and de-seed the dried chiles; add to the blender. Pour in 3/4 cup beef broth. Puree until fully integrated, 2 to 3 minutes. You can add a little more broth if the squash gets too dry, but don't flood it. It should be thickish. Set aside.
5. 5 Pour chicken broth into a 2-quart pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer.
6. 6 Heat canola and olive oil in a large, medium sided pan next to the hot broth over medium-high heat, 3 to 4 minutes. Set a ladle and a stirring spoon out next to the stove.
7. 7 Add a ladleful of simmering chicken broth to the rice; stir constantly with the spoon, allowing it to simmer until broth has mostly evaporated. Continue adding ladlefuls of broth and stirring it in until most of the liquid has evaporated, adding the blended squash mixture after about 10 minutes of cooking. Continue cooking and stirring in broth until rice swells up slowly and is tender, yet firm to the bite, 20 to 30 minutes. Stir in Manchego cheese and 1/2 of the pumpkin seeds.
8. 8 Pour into serving bowls and top with remaining pumpkin seeds and paprika; season with salt and pepper.
