Ingredients

  • 300 g Arborio Rice
  • 500 g Pumpkin Diced into small cubes
  • 1 Onion Finely chopped
  • 1 clove Garlic Minced
  • 1 litre Vegetable Stock
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Thyme Dried
  • 1 tsp Rosemary Dried
  • Salt To taste
  • Black Pepper To taste
  • 50 g Parmesan Cheese Grated
  • Parsley For garnish

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for about 2 minutes or until they become translucent.
  • Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for another 2 minutes, making sure each grain is coated in the oil and becomes slightly translucent at the edges.
  • Add the diced pumpkin and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until the pumpkin starts to soften.
  • Pour in a ladleful of vegetable stock and stir until the liquid is absorbed by the rice. Continue adding the stock one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently, and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more. This should take about 20-25 minutes.
  • When the risotto is creamy and the rice is tender with a slight bite, stir in the dried thyme and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it's melted and the risotto is creamy.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
