Ingredients
- 300 g arborio rice
- 500 g pumpkin Diced into small cubes
- 1 onion Finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic Minced
- 1 litre vegetable stock
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp thyme Dried
- 1 tsp rosemary Dried
- salt To taste
- black pepper To taste
- 50 g Parmesan Cheese Grated
- parsley For garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for about 2 minutes or until they become translucent.
- Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for another 2 minutes, making sure each grain is coated in the oil and becomes slightly translucent at the edges.
- Add the diced pumpkin and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until the pumpkin starts to soften.
- Pour in a ladleful of vegetable stock and stir until the liquid is absorbed by the rice. Continue adding the stock one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently, and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more. This should take about 20-25 minutes.
- When the risotto is creamy and the rice is tender with a slight bite, stir in the dried thyme and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it's melted and the risotto is creamy.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
