Author: Denise

Ingredients

  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 1/2 cups pumpkin purée
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 shallot diced
  • 3 cloves garlic diced
  • 2 1/2 tsp kosher salt divided
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 cups Arborio rice
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese plus extra for topping
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms stems removed and sliced
  • Chopped parsley

Instructions

  • In a large saucepan, whisk together broth and pumpkin puree. Heat over medium and cover until ready to use.
  • Heat butter in a large skillet and over medium heat. Add diced onions and shallots. Sauté́ until slightly starting to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with 1 tsp salt. Add garlic cook for 30 more seconds. Add rice to pan, stirring frequently so rice can start to slightly toast.
  • Very slowly, pour 2 cups of pumpkin broth into the rice. Add 1 tsp of salt, pepper and stir. Simmer over a medium low heat until rice absorbs the liquid. Continue adding broth, 1-2 ladles at a time until rice is fully cooked. Stir in Parmesan cheese, adjust salt and pepper if needed and remove the pan from the heat. Set aside and prepare mushrooms.
  • In a small skillet, heat avocado oil on high. Add mushrooms and remaining 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Sauté́ 5-7 minutes or until slightly browned. Try to avoid overcooking so mushrooms won’t become soggy.
  • Arrange risotto on serving bowls. Top with sautéed mushrooms, grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
  • If choosing to serve with roasted chicken, see added steps below. Recommend beginning with chicken, allowing it to cook while preparing risotto.
