Description

Creamy, cheesy and delicious! Perfect side dish or main course for those chilly fall evenings!

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 cup Onion, Diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Finely Minced
  • 1 cup Arborio Rice
  • ½ cups Pureed Pumpkin
  • 3 cups Chicken Stock
  • 1 whole Bay Leaf
  • ⅛ teaspoons Ground Thyme
  • ⅛ teaspoons Poultry Seasoning
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cups Grated Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese
  • 3 Tablespoons Heavy Cream

Preparation

Preheat a large skillet with high sides over medium heat. Melt butter and saute onions until translucent, 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in arborio rice and stir to coat all grains in the butter. Pour in the pumpkin puree and about one cup of chicken stock as well as all the spices. Stir until water has been absorbed. Continue in this fashion until no stock is left and risotto is thick. Right before serving, add in cheese and cream. Serve immediately with more cheese, if desired.

I have made this recipe several times now and just realized that I have never reviewed it! This has become one of our favorite side dishes. I like a little more pumpkin flavor, so I add in an extra big spoonful on top of what the recipe calls for. I love this recipe because it is so easy to adjust the flavors to your liking.

All I have to say is yum! All I did differently was replace the thyme with sage and the chicken stock with vegetable stock. This was an awesome fall dinner/side dish!

I thought this was delicious! I didn’t have poultry spice, so I used a recommended substitution of rosemary, thyme, & pepper. I also added some white wine at the end, and milk instead of cream. Overall amazing!

Good recipe, pumpkin flavor was not as strong as I thought it would be. Will probably add more next time. Overall flavor and texture were wonderful. Thanks for the recipe.
