Butternut orzotto from Nigella Christmas: Food, Family, Friends, Festivities (page 134) by Nigella Lawson

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Red cabbage with pomegranate juice; Spiced and superjuicy roast turkey with allspice gravy; Redder than red cranberry sauce; My mother's bread sauce; Chestnut stuffing; Gingerbread stuffing; Panettone and Italian sausage stuffing; Bacon-wrapped chipolatas; Perfect roast potatoes; Maple-roast parsnips; Christmas sprouts; Ultimate Christmas pudding; Chocolate pudding for Christmas pudding haters with hot chocolate sauce

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    The error in the method was irritating- I had to sit down with a tot of sloe gin to work it out ! The recipe is lush and very rich so needs some good leafy green sides. I found the squash and mascarpone wouldn’t blend so I added some stock - will use the food processor next time. A great veggie alternative for the main Christmas event or anytime you are feeding veggies. I was wondering if white beans from a jar eg Bold Beans could sub for the mascarpone to make it vegan and somewhat lighter…..

    From Nigella's Website: In the fourth step it should read "add the barley to the onions, and stir for about 2 minutes." We do not know how the mention of butternut cubes crept in here in place of onion; obviously the Butternut Fan Club has an underground agent at the publishers!

    I'm sure there's a misprint In step 4, where she says Butternut squash cubes instead of onions. Makes no sense otherwise!
