Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Start by preparing the vegetable stock. Add four cups of boiling water to a heatproof bowl and add one vegetable stock cube.
  2. Heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add the chopped onion. Sauté the onion until translucent, then add the rice and cook for one minute over medium heat.
  3. Add the baked pumpkin puree and a teaspoon of salt. Stir.
  4. Add one third of the vegetable stock, stirring continuously. When the rice has absorbed the liquid, add the second third of the stock and so on until the rice is done. Stir continuously.
  5. Finally, with the risotto still on the heat, add the butter. Once the butter has melted, stir in the grated Parmesan.
  6. Serve garnished with fresh basil/amber leaves and grate Parmesan cheese on top.
  7. Serve with a glass of rosé or white wine. Enjoy!
