A candle can get a small amount of water, say 3/4 of a cup, to the
cusp of boiling, hot enough to make tea.

     Title: Winter Risotto With Butternut Squash & Black Trumpets
Categories: Rice, Vegetables, wild, mushrooms
  Servings: 6

      2 lb butternut squash, cut into
    1/2    -inch cubes
      4 TB butter
      1 lg shallot, diced
      1    clove garlic, minced
  1 1/2 c  arborio rice
    1/2 c  dry white wine
      6    8 cups chicken or vegetable
           broth
    1/3 c  Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese,
           grated
      2 TB fresh sage, chopped
      1    packed cup fresh arugula
    1/4 lb black trumpet and/or
           yellowfoot mushrooms,
           rinsed

Peel and cut squash. Warm stock in a pot. Saute squash in 2
tablespoons of butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, covered, for 5
minutes over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally. Remove lid and
cook a few more minutes to lightly brown squash.

Add shallot and garlic. Cook together with squash for a few minutes
before deglazing pan with wine. Immediately add rice and stir
thoroughly to coat. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in a ladle or two of
stock, repeating as the liquid is absorbed until rice is al dente.
While risotto is cooking, saute mushrooms in a tablespoon of butter.
Set aside.

Finish risotto with sage, arugula, cheese, and last tablespoon of
butter. Season with salt to taste. Garnish with sauteed mushrooms.
