- Serves 3-4
A very enjoyable risotto dish.
Ingredients
- 1 pound pumpkin shopping list
- 2 tablespoons of butter shopping list
- 1 and3/4 cups arborio rice shopping list
- 2 chicken cubes or 6 cups of chicken broth shopping list
- 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese shopping list
- Salt shopping list
How to make it
- put 6 cups of water in a deep pot and add the chicken cubes if using bring the water and cubes to a boil
- Meanwhile cut open the pumpkin and remove the seeds.
- Peel and cube the pumpkin, put the pumpkin and half the butter into a medium-size saucepan and on medium high heat fry for one minute.
- And a ladle of the boiling broth turn the heat to medium and cook until the pumpkin is half cooked. Add the rice to the pumpkin and stir until the rice is glossy, about one minute. Add another ladle of broth stirring all the time, until all the broth is absorbed. keep adding broth a ladle at a time and stir until rice is cooked El dente, about 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and the remaining butter and stir in the Parmesan cheese and season with salt to taste.
- FOOTNOTES:
- I sometimes add a bit of minced onion and garlic to the dish just for a change. Put a bowl with extra Parmesan cheese on the table for those that like to add more cheese. I put serves three, but it depends how big your bowl is. I prefer the Arborio(Italian Rice ) as it stays nice and firm. You can use chicken stock in place of the chicken cubes as one reviewer did .
- I like to have lots of broth in a pot keeping it nice and hot.

I really enjoyed this "Pumpkin Risotto." I made mine with flavorless REFINED coconut oil (instead of butter) and left out the cheese since I am dairy intolerant. It was true comfort food and I will definitely make it again. Thank you Eastco...more
