Try these irresistible pumpkin risotto cakes for a new dinner favorite.
Ingredients:
  • 500g butternut pumpkin, peeled, cut into 3cm pieces
  • 72.80 gm olive oil
  • 637.50 gm salt reduced chicken style liquid stock
  • 250.00 gm water
  • 1/2 large red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 350.00 gm arborio rice
  • 62.50 ml finely grated parmesan or vegetarian hard cheese
  • 15g butter, cubed
  • 40.00 ml chopped parsley
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh chives
  • 100g feta, crumbled
  • Crusty bread, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 220C. Coat the pumpkin with half of the oil and arrange it in a greased roasting pan. Roast until tender, about 30 minutes.
  • In a saucepan, bring the stock and water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic in remaining oil until softened, about 7 minutes. Add rice and stir for 2 minutes.
  • Slowly pour in the stock, one ladleful at a time, while gently stirring with a wooden spoon until the rice is creamy but still slightly firm, which should take about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Blend in the rich flavors of parmesan, butter, parsley, and chives. Add the pumpkin and stir gently. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  • Mix the risotto and feta together, then form the mixture into 8 rice cakes.
  • In a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat, fry risotto cakes in two batches for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  • Enjoy with crusty bread and a side salad.
