Delight your loved ones with a comforting and affordable pumpkin risotto.
Ingredients:
  • 1kg butternut pumpkin, peeled, cut into 3cm pieces
  • 72.80 gm olive oil
  • 1275.00 gm salt reduced chicken style liquid stock
  • 500.00 gm water
  • 1 large red onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 500.00 gm arborio rice
  • 187.50 ml finely grated parmesan
  • 30g butter, cubed
  • 82.50 ml chopped parsley
  • 82.50 ml chopped fresh chives
Instructions:
  • First, preheat your oven to a toasty 220°C. Next, coat the pumpkin with a generous amount of oil and lay it out on the bottom of a well-greased roasting pan. Roast in the oven for about 30 minutes or until the pumpkin is nice and tender.
  • In a saucepan, bring the stock and water to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic in remaining oil for 7 minutes until softened. Stir in rice and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Gradually pour in the stock, one ladleful at a time, stirring with a wooden spoon until each ladleful is absorbed. Keep adding stock until the rice is al dente, about 20 to 25 minutes in total.
  • Incorporate parmesan, butter, parsley, and chives into the mixture. Gently fold in the pumpkin and serve promptly.
