Description

A warm and creamy dish that will enchant your taste buds!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 2 cups pumpkin puree
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh sage leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth and keep it warm over low heat.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent.
  3. Add the Arborio rice to the skillet, stirring for about 2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
  4. Pour in the white wine and stir until it is mostly absorbed by the rice.
  5. Begin adding the warm vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until the liquid is absorbed before adding more broth.
  6. After about 15 minutes, add the pumpkin puree and continue to stir, adding broth as needed until the rice is creamy and al dente.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the crumbled goat cheese until melted and creamy.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with fresh sage leaves before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of cream.
  • Feel free to substitute the goat cheese with feta or Parmesan if desired.
