Pumpkin risotto is a very delicate and tasty dish that pleases with a pleasant aroma and rich taste. It can decorate any menu, and will also satisfy for the whole day. We at joy-pup offer a step-by-step recipe for pumpkin risotto.
Ingredients:
- 300 g risotto rice (arborio or carnaroli)
- 400 g peeled pumpkin
- 1 l vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 100 ml dry white wine (optional)
- 50 g butter
- 50 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish
Step-by-step preparation:
- Peel and seed the pumpkin, cut into small cubes (about 1 cm). Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan and fry the pumpkin until soft, about 10 minutes. It is important that it is golden and tender, but not falling apart. Set the finished pumpkin aside.
- Finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter in a deep frying pan or saucepan. Add the onion and garlic, fry over medium heat until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- When the onion is soft, add the rice. Stir constantly to soak it in oil. After 2-3 minutes, when the rice becomes slightly translucent, add the white wine (if using). Cook until the wine has completely evaporated. Gradually add hot broth, 1 ladle at a time, stirring constantly. Add a new portion of broth only after the previous one has been completely absorbed by the rice. This process takes about 18-20 minutes. The rice should be soft, but not overcooked.
- When the rice is almost done, add the fried pumpkin and stir gently. Continue cooking the risotto for a few more minutes, adding broth as needed.
- When the risotto reaches the desired consistency – creamy and tender, add grated Parmesan and the remaining butter. Stir until the cheese and butter are evenly distributed throughout the dish. Taste the risotto and add salt and pepper if necessary.
Divide the finished risotto into plates, garnish with fresh thyme or parsley leaves. You can also sprinkle with more grated Parmesan.
