Cheesy Pumpkin Risotto image

I had pumpkin risotto as a side dish at a local restaurant. It was delicious, so I inquired about its ingredients and preparation and was able to devise my own recipe based on the hints from the restaurant.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped sweet onion
¾ cup Arborio rice
½ cup Sauvignon Blanc wine
4 cups simmering hot chicken broth, divided
½ cup canned pumpkin puree
½ cup grated Gruyere cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my risotto turned out too mushy. I think I added too much liquid.
