Ingredients:
- 1 onion diced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cups arborio rice
- 3 cups butternut pumpkin, diced
- 2L vegetable stock
- 1 cup continental parsley, chopped
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Method:
In a frying pan heat the oil and butter and add the onion. Fry until translucent.
Add the rice and pumpkin.Saute for about 3-4 mins.
Ladle the stock in a cup at a time taking care to keep stirring. Ladle another cup in after each previous one has been absorbed until all of the stock is used.
Stir in the parmesan and parsley and serve.
Notes:
- I also cook this in the microwave if I don't have time to stand at the stove. I just omit the oil and add the butter, parsley and cheese at the end. It will be ready in about 15 mins microwave time.
