Pumpkin and sage risotto

No ratings yet

Risotto can only be made with a rice grown specifically for the purpose – look out for packets of arborio.

Ingredients

2 cups Pumpkin, peeled and diced
3 Tbsp Olive oil
2 Garlic cloves, crushed
2 Tbsp Fresh rosemary, chopped
2 Tbsp Fresh sage, chopped
2 Tbsp Unsalted butter
½ cup Onion, diced
1½ cups Arborio rice
½ cup White wine
5 cups Vegetable stock, or chicken stock, hot
½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 squeeze Lemon juice
½ cup Feta, crumbled
1 handful Fresh sage, to serve

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add pumpkin, garlic, rosemary, sage, 1/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Cook for 10 minutes over a medium heat until the pumpkin is tender. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, melt half the butter. Add the onion and cook over a medium heat for 2 to 4 minutes. Add the rice, stir to coat with the butter. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the white wine and cook until absorbed.
  3. Pour 1 cup of the hot stock into the rice and stir with a wooden spoon until absorbed. Continue adding the rest of the stock 1 cup at a time, letting each addition be absorbed completely before adding more liquid.
  4. When half the stock has been used, about 10 to 12 minutes, add the pumpkin.
  5. Finish adding the remaining stock, ½ cup at a time, until all the rice is cooked.
  6. To finish, stir the remaining butter and parmesan. Season with a squeeze of lemon juice, salt and pepper, and decorate the top with crumbled feta cheese.
