directions

  • Preheat oven to 220°C Arrange pumpkin, in a single layer, in a lightly greased roasting pan. Drizzle with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and tender.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add bacon and onion. Cook, stirring, for 4 minutes or until onion is soft. Add garlic and rice. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
  • Add stock powder and boiling water. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Remove lid and cook for a further 10 to 12 minutes or until rice has absorbed most of stock. Remove from heat. Stir in pumpkin, spinach and 3/4 cup cheese. Spoon into bowls. Top with cheese. Season with pepper and serve.

Questions & Replies

  1. The measurements are a mix of US and metric (e.g. kg and tablespoons). Can we pick one and be consistent?

  1. Great! Adding some white wine was the only change, and a knob of butter at the end. I used parmesan cheese. Thanks!
     
  2. I needed to get rid of abundance of pumpkins in my house. My rizotto did not look like on the picture,because all pumkin "melted" into the rice and you couldn't see it at all. I did not use any bacon and used some dried hebs for flavor I'm giving it 4 stars for flavor and 5 stars for the idea. Thank you.
     
  3. This risotto style recipe packs heaps of flavour. I used recipe #285173 for the stock and then followed the recipe from there. Thanks for the recipe!
