Israeli Couscous Risotto with Squash, Radicchio, and Parsley Butter

This vibrant Israeli couscous risotto offers a modern twist on a comforting classic, swapping traditional arborio rice for toasted pearl couscous. The dish balances the natural sweetness of roasted butternut squash with the sophisticated bitterness of radicchio, all tied together with a rich, salty hit of Parmesan cheese. It is a textured, warming meal that feels indulgent yet remains straightforward enough for a midweek treat.

As a high-protein vegetarian-friendly option, this recipe is perfect for those seeking a nutritious and filling dinner. The fragrant parsley and lemon butter is swirled in at the last moment, adding a punch of citrus and fresh herbs that lifts the earthy flavours. Serve it in large bowls for a cosy night in or as an elegant main course for guests.
