Pumpkin Risotto

Ingredients

1 large onion, peeled and chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1 red birds eye chilli, finely chopped
half tsp ground cinnamon
300g risotto rice
1 small pumpkin (approx 1kg), peeled and diced into 2cm pieces
100ml white wine
1 ltr hot vegetable stock
4 tbsp grated Parmesan, plus extra for serving
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

1: Fry the onion in a wide pan for 4-5 minutes or until softened. Stir in the chilli and cinnamon and cook for 1 minute.

2: Add the rice and turn in the oil until all the grains are coated.

3: Stir in the pumpkin, add the wine and bring to the boil. Add the hot stock, 2 ladles at a time and allow to be absorbed by the rice before adding more. Stir frequently over a medium heat for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and all the stock is absorbed. The rice should still have a slight ‘bite’.

4: Spoon into large bowls and serve immediately with extra grated Parmesan.
