steel cut oat risotto with butternut squash

I didn't come up with this strange idea. Erk found this recipe here and somehow convinced me to cook it.

I accompanied it with a pork chop, but the meal would've been good without any meat at all.

We had the risotto with another Chilean carmenere, this one Anakena's 2005. The wine wasn't as good as the other one (notice that it doesn't get its own blog post). However, it complemented the oat risotto well, with a dry aftertaste a good follow up to the cheese and creaminess of the risotto.
