Pumpkin Risotto
- 1/4 pound Pumpkin
- 6 Cups Chicken or Duck Stock
- 2 tablespoons Minced Onion
- 2 cups Arborio Rice
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 tablespoon Italian Parsley chopped
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1/2 Lemon
Cut the pumpkin in chunks and cook till tender in simmering Stock. Puree the pumpkin chunks with 1/2 cup stock and reserve.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large saucepan and sautee the onion until soft, but not browned. Add the Arborio Rice and toss in the oil. Cook for a minute or two until slightly nutty. Add the simmering stock 1/2 cup at a time, allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. Keep stirring continously. After about 20 minutes the rice should be firm but tender and the dish appear soft and creamy. Add a final addition of stock, the pumpkin puree, the parsley, the Parmesan Cheese, the Butter and a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir in. Let the Risotto rest 5 minutes off heat before serving.
