Delicious Fall Recipe: Pumpkin Spice Risotto Recipe

Today’s Food Discovery: Pumpkin Spice Risotto

I am excited to share this unique recipe for Pumpkin Spice Risotto. It’s the perfect dish for a cozy autumn evening, bringing together the warmth of traditional risotto with the comforting flavors of pumpkin spice.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• Arborio rice (200g)
• Pumpkin puree (150g)
• Chicken broth (750ml)
• Shallots (2, finely chopped)
• Butter (50g)
• Parmesan cheese (50g, grated)
• Ground cinnamon (1 tsp)
• Nutmeg (1/2 tsp)
• Salt (to taste)
• Black pepper (to taste)

And don’t forget to prepare your kitchen tools:

• saucepan
• wooden spoon
• grater

To start, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and cook until they are soft and translucent. Next, add the Arborio rice and toast it for a few minutes until it becomes slightly translucent around the edges.

Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly until the rice absorbs the liquid. Continue adding the broth in small increments, allowing the rice to absorb each addition before adding more. This process will take about 20 minutes.

Once the rice is creamy and cooked to al dente, stir in the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Remove the risotto from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and incorporates smoothly.

Serve the Pumpkin Spice Risotto hot, garnished with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and a dash of freshly cracked black pepper.

This dish weighs approximately 1000g when cooked and serves 4 people. Each serving weighs around 250g. An estimated calorie count per serving is around 350 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to add a splash of maple syrup for a touch of extra sweetness. The maple flavor pairs wonderfully with the pumpkin spice and elevates the dish to another level of deliciousness.

I encourage you to give this Pumpkin Spice Risotto a try and feel free to experiment with your own twists and variations. Enjoy the warmth and comfort of this seasonal dish!
