Pumpkin Risotto with Chestnut
27
Chest and pumpkin make a sweet couple.
2
4 cup vegetable broth or water
2 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup chopped onion
2 cup cooked pumpkin
1 cup Arborio rice
1 cup cooked chest
½ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme (optional)
¼ cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoon chopped green onions
2 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup chopped onion
2 cup cooked pumpkin
1 cup Arborio rice
1 cup cooked chest
½ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme (optional)
¼ cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoon chopped green onions
Cut pumpkin into ¼-inch cubes.
Boil vegetable broth or water, then turn down the heat and cover.
Meanwhile, prepare a skillet and heat the oil.
Add onion and pumpkin, sauté until onion is transparent.
Add rice and cook, stirring, until the grains are wet, transparent on the edges but the centers are still white. This would take about 3 minutes or longer.
Add 1 cup hot broth or water, stirring until the liquid is absorbed, about 4 minutes.
Slowly add more broth or water, 1 cup at a time, until rice is cooked through. The process would take about 25 minutes. After you add each cup of water, cover and let simmer for few minutes.
Add chestnut and thyme, then remove from heat.
Mix with Parmesan and green onions, and serve. (Substitute Parmesan with salt for vegan version.)
Note: You can use plain white rice instead of Arborio, or try with other types of rice. Make sure to adjust the amount of water according to the type of the rice and your favorite texture.
