A Taste of Fall: Creamy Curried Pumpkin Risotto Recipe

Curried Pumpkin Risotto

Today, I’m excited to share with you my unique and comforting recipe for Curried Pumpkin Risotto. This dish is perfect for the cool autumn evenings when you’re craving something rich and flavorful. The combination of creamy risotto with the warm spices of curry and the sweetness of pumpkin creates a truly memorable dining experience.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• medium saucepan
• wooden spoon

Ingredients:
– 250g Arborio rice
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 tsp curry powder
– 400g pumpkin, peeled and diced
– 1L vegetable broth
– 50g Parmesan cheese, grated
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

To start, heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and garlic until translucent, then stir in the curry powder. Add the Arborio rice and cook for a couple of minutes until lightly toasted.

Next, add the diced pumpkin to the saucepan and stir well to combine with the rice. Begin adding the vegetable broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and cooked to al dente, about 20 minutes.

Once the risotto is ready, remove it from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the Curried Pumpkin Risotto hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

This Curried Pumpkin Risotto weighs approximately 1300g after cooking and serves 4 people, with each serving weighing around 325g. Each serving is estimated to contain 350 calories.

One unique tip for this dish is to roast the pumpkin separately before adding it to the risotto. This will enhance the sweetness and depth of flavor in the pumpkin, elevating the dish to a whole new level.
