HONEY PUMPKIN RISOTTO
Found this recipe a few years ago in a magazine, when I was looking for something different to do with an abundance of pumpkin from my garden. If you are vegetarian and looking for something a little different, then you will love this. I use chicken stock but the recipe calls for vegetable stock. Next time I am going to try making it with chicken in it.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 220°C
- Lay pumpkin in an even layer on a large baking tray and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 minutes, then remove and drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon of honey, tossing well to coat each piece. Roast for a further 15 minutes until cooked and golden.
- Place stock in a saucepan and keep at a simmer over low heat.
- Heat remaining tablespoon of oil in a large heavy-based pan over low heat.
- Add onion and stir for 2-3 minutes until onion is soft. Add celery and cook for 1 minute, then add grated ginger and rice and cook for a further minute, stirring to coat grains. Increase the heat to medium-low, add wine and cook until absorbed. Add stock a ladleful at a time, allowing each to be absorbed before adding the next. Continue for 15 minutes or until rice is cooked but still firm to the bite. Add the lemon juice, pumpkin and parsley. Season, then stir in mascarpone.
- Serve with a dollop of mascarpone or if prefered grated Parmesan, a drizzle of honey and extra parsley.
PUMPKIN RISOTTO
For Halloween with my friends Siegfried and Roy, we decorated individual servings of the finished risotto by drizzling on reduced beet juice that looked like deep red blood! You could also reduce tomato juice for the same effect. Making risotto requires your full attention. Though the rice can be partially cooked in advance and cooled, the finishing process is so precise that the risotto cannot wait for your guests, but rather your guests have to wait for the risotto.

Steps:
- In a medium-size heavy saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute, stirring continuously, just until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the rice and continue to stir, using a wooden spoon, to coat the rice with the oil.
- Add the white wine and continue cooking, stirring often, until it has been absorbed by the rice. Pour in enough chicken stock to cover the rice completely, about 3 cups, and continue to cook, stirring often, until all the liquid is absorbed.
- Pour in 1 cup more of the remaining stock and stir and cook until it has been absorbed. Repeat with 1 more cup. Add the remaining cup and cook, stirring, until the rice is al dente, tender but still very chewy, and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Stir in the pumpkin puree and the diced pumpkin and reduce the heat to very low so that the risotto doesn't simmer anymore. Stir in the Parmesan and butter to give the risotto a nice, creamy finish. Spoon it immediately into heated shallow serving bowls.

Steps:
- Heat the stock to a simmer, and continue simmering it while preparing the recipe.
- Heat the nonstick pot until it is very hot. Reduce heat to medium high, and add oil.
- Saute onion and garlic until onion begins to soften.
- Stir in rice to coat well; add wine, and cook until wine has evaporated.
- Add 1 cup of the stock with the nutmeg to the rice; reduce heat so that mixture simmers. Stir often, cooking until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice. Repeat with another cup of stock, and continue stirring, adding stock until the rice is almost tender but still has some bite to it.
- Stir in the pumpkin, cheese, salt and pepper, and stir until mixture is hot.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe pumpkin: This will give your risotto the best flavor and texture.
- Roast the pumpkin before adding it to the risotto: This will help to caramelize the sugars in the pumpkin and give it a richer flavor.
- Use a good quality risotto rice: Arborio or Carnaroli are both good choices.
- Toast the rice before adding the liquid: This will help to prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
- Add the liquid gradually: This will help the rice to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming too soupy.
- Stir the risotto constantly: This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Add the cheese and butter at the end: This will help to create a creamy and flavorful risotto.

Honey pumpkin risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or side dish. It's perfect for a fall meal, but it can also be enjoyed year-round. With its sweet and savory flavor, honey pumpkin risotto is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
