Method

  1. Fry the onions in a tbsp of oil until soft but not browned. Add the thyme, squash and rice and stir for a few seconds to coat the grains with oil. Add a couple of ladles of stock and bring to a simmer.
  2. Cook, stirring until almost all the stock is absorbed. Add the rest of the stock a little at a time, cooking until each addition is absorbed, until the squash is soft and the rice al dente and creamy.
  3. Season well. Divide between 4 bowls and scatter with cheese.
