Time 1h7m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small sugar pumpkin - seeded, peeled, and diced
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter
1 shallot, diced
1 cup Arborio rice
4 cups hot chicken broth
ΒΌ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly oil a baking sheet.
  • Toss diced pumpkin with 2 tablespoons olive oil, sage, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Spread evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, turning once midway through cooking, until pumpkin begins to brown, about 25 minutes.
  • Melt butter and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot; cook and stir until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add rice and stir until the rice is coated in oil and has started to toast, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 3 1/2 cups chicken broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring slowly after each addition until absorbed into the rice. Add the roasted pumpkin. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth until mostly absorbed and rice is tender; adding the broth should take about 20 minutes total. Turn off heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese.

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, so I wasn't sure if I would like this recipe. But I was pleasantly surprised! The pumpkin flavor was really subtle and the sage really balanced it out. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think it took me over an hour to make. I prefer recipes that are a bit quicker to make.

I followed the recipe exactly and the risotto turned out really dry. I think I may have added too much liquid. I will try it again and be more careful with the amount of liquid I add.

I tried this recipe and it was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper. The risotto was also a bit too al dente for my liking.
