Ingredients:

• 200g Arborio rice

To start, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until they become translucent and fragrant. Stir in the diced pumpkin and Arborio rice, allowing them to toast slightly before adding the vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until the liquid is absorbed.

Once the rice is al dente and creamy, pour in the coconut milk and continue stirring until the risotto reaches a rich, velvety consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then fold in the grated Parmesan cheese for an added depth of flavor.

Serve the Creamy Coconut Pumpkin Risotto hot, garnished with a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper and a drizzle of coconut milk for an extra touch of decadence.
