Time 35m

Yield 6-8 side dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons shallots, chopped
1 cup red bell pepper, diced
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup arborio rice (other short or medium grain will work)
1/2 cup white wine
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons evaporated milk
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted

Steps:

  • Melt butter in large sauce pot.
  • Add shallots and red pepper.
  • Saute until red pepper begins to soften, about 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine pumpkin and broth in another saucepan, mixing well over medium-low heat.
  • Keep warm.
  • Add rice to red pepper mixture, cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Add wine, stirring until liquid is almost gone.
  • Add cumin and curry powder, stirring through until well blended.
  • Over medium heat, begin adding pumpkin/broth liquid, about 1/2 cup at a time.
  • Stir until liquid is almost gone, then add the next 1/2 cup.
  • Continue until the pumpkin broth is gone and rice is tender, or even slightly al dente if you like.
  • This can take about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • When just a small bit of the last addition of broth is left, add evaporated milk, stirring to blend, and continue to cook for about 3 more minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from heat and add toasted pine nuts.
  • Mix through and serve.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but I'm so glad I did! The pumpkin flavor was subtle and the curry flavor was perfectly balanced. This is definitely a new favorite recipe of mine.

This pumpkin risotto was a hit! The curry flavor was subtle but present, and the pumpkin added a lovely sweetness and creaminess. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it turned out great. Definitely a keeper!
