Ingredients
  • 11.29 oz (320 g) risotto rice
  • 1.1 lb (500 g) pumpkin
  • 1 pcs onion
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1.41 oz (40 g) butter
  • 3.38 US fl oz (100 ml) dry white wine
  • 5.07 US cup (1.2 l) vegetable stock
  • 2.12 oz (60 g) Parmesan cheese
  • 6 pcs sage
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 1 tsp salt
Description

1. Peel and deseed the pumpkin and cut it into 1 cm cubes; finely chop the onion; bring the stock to the boil and keep it at a gentle simmer.

2. In a wide pan, cook the onion in the olive oil for 3-4 minutes until translucent, add the pumpkin and cook for 8-10 minutes until soft; if it sticks, add a ladleful of stock.

3. Add the rice, toast it for 2 minutes, stirring, pour in the white wine and let it evaporate.

4. Add the hot stock a ladleful at a time and cook for 17-18 minutes, stirring often - the pumpkin partly breaks down and binds the rice into an orange cream.

5. Meanwhile, fry the sage leaves in half the butter in a small frying pan for 1-2 minutes until crisp; take the risotto off the heat, stir in the remaining butter, the parmesan and nutmeg and leave covered for 2 minutes.

6. Serve topped with the crispy sage leaves.

Tip: Mash some of the pumpkin against the side of the pan with a fork and leave the rest in pieces - the risotto will be creamy and chunky at the same time.
