pumpkin risotto
« on: October 22, 2005, 09:54:12 »
Have been asked for this so here it is

1/2 litre stock (or as much as rice will take)
1 onion
olive oil
150g risoto rice
250g pumpkin or squash diced small
1tbs fresh herbs (1tsp if dried) - sage works well as does thyme

Soften onions in oil (don't allow to brown)
Add herbs. Stir. Add rice. Stir for 2 mins.
Add 1/3 of stock + cook until absorbed by rice.
Add pumpkin + a little stock.

From then on keep adding stock a little at a time until all stock absorbed, pumpkin soft and rice "Al Dente".

If you stir in a thingy of butter just before serving it adds a nice shine + creamy texture

Enjoy

Many thanks for this Diana - will get to work persuading OH to make it.  No point me doing it - I can grow things (just about!) but I'm a disaster in the kitchen  :(

I made some last night and it was delicious - even my daughter enjoyed it (she's not much of a rice fan usually) - a good way to use up pumpkin!

(But I forgot the thingy of butter!)

Thanks Diana!

Dan.
