Risotto With Pumpkin

Risotto With Pumpkin


1. Bring the stock to the boil in a saucepan; reduce heat and simmer covered while making the risotto.

2. Cook the pancetta in a heavy based saucepan until the fat starts to melt, add the onion and cook over a medium heat until soft. Add the pumpkin and cook over a medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Add the rice and stir to coat well in the pancetta fat and heat through.

4. Add a ladleful of simmering stock and stir over a low to medium heat until liquid is absorbed.

5. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

6. Add the remaining simmering stock a ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each addition of stock to be absorbed before adding the next.

7. The rice should be creamy, with a bit of a bite (al dente).

8. Stir in the butter, parsley and parmesan, remove from heat and cover. Allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
