Turban Squash Risotto with Crispy Salami and Sage

Recently, while in the Babbitt Zup’s, I noticed a colorful squash I had never seen before: turban squash.

Christine, the produce manager, does a great job ordering unique produce, and I always like experimenting with new varieties. I asked her about turban squash, and she said they are very sweet but hard to cut. The squash has a round outline near the top that I felt would make a perfect serving bowl. So, I took two home and tried to cut one open with my sharpest knife.
