Curried Pumpkin Risotto

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a cozy fall recipe that will warm you up from the inside out. As the leaves start to change colors and the air gets a little crisper, I can’t help but crave comforting dishes like this Curried Pumpkin Risotto.

To make this unique twist on a classic Italian dish, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• Arborio rice (300g)
• Pumpkin puree (250g)
• Coconut milk (400ml)
• Curry powder (2 tbsp)
• Vegetable broth (1 liter)
• Onion (1, diced)
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Fresh ginger (1-inch piece, grated)
• Coconut oil (2 tbsp)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

For this recipe, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

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

Start by heating the coconut oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and curry powder, stirring constantly for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Next, add the Arborio rice to the pan and toast it for a couple of minutes until lightly golden. Pour in the vegetable broth a ladleful at a time, stirring continuously until the rice absorbs the liquid. Repeat this process until all the broth is gone and the rice is creamy and cooked through.

Stir in the pumpkin puree and coconut milk, mixing well to combine all the flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed. Let the risotto simmer for a few more minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.

Once ready, serve the Curried Pumpkin Risotto hot, garnished with fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness. This dish is perfect for a cozy dinner at home or as a side dish for a fall gathering with friends.

The cooked dish weighs approximately 1200g and serves 4 people, with each serving weighing around 300g. Each serving is estimated to contain about 350 calories.

A clever tip for this recipe is to add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra layer of warmth and spice. This unexpected twist will take your Curried Pumpkin Risotto to the next level and surprise your taste buds!
