Peel the butternut squash, remove the seeds and cut into small cubes.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add the bacon and cook for 2 minutes. Then add the onion and cook for a further 2 minutes. Add the butternut squash, thyme and garlic, and cook for another minute or so until everything is coated and glossy.
Add the rice to the saucepan, stir and then add one-third of the stock. Continue to stir until it has been absorbed, then add the next third, stir until absorbed, and then add the remaining third.
Season well and allow to simmer for a few minutes.
