Fall Comfort in a Bowl: Creamy Pumpkin and Sage Risotto Recipe

Delicious Pumpkin and Sage Risotto

Hello, fellow foodies! Today, I am excited to share with you my latest fall comfort food creation: a mouthwatering pumpkin and sage risotto. This dish embodies the cozy vibes of autumn and is perfect for a chilly evening at home. The combination of creamy risotto with the earthy sweetness of pumpkin and the herby aroma of sage is simply irresistible.

Ingredients:

• Arborio rice (300g)
• Pumpkin, diced (400g)
• Onion, finely chopped (1)
• Garlic, minced (2 cloves)
• White wine (150ml)
• Vegetable broth (1 liter)
• Fresh sage leaves, chopped (10 leaves)
• Parmesan cheese, grated (100g)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Butter (50g)

Kitchen Tools:

• Large non-stick pan
• Wooden spoon
• Chef’s knife
• Cutting board
• Grater

To start, heat the vegetable broth in a saucepan until simmering. In a large non-stick pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant. Next, stir in the Arborio rice, coating it with the butter mixture.

Begin adding the hot vegetable broth to the rice, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously until absorbed. After about 15 minutes, add the diced pumpkin and continue to cook until the rice is creamy and the pumpkin is tender.

Pour in the white wine and stir until absorbed. Add the chopped sage leaves, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Finally, remove the pan from the heat and let the risotto rest for a few minutes before serving. Spoon the creamy pumpkin and sage risotto into bowls and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and sage leaves for a finishing touch.

This delectable pumpkin and sage risotto weighs approximately 1200g once cooked and serves 4 people. Each serving carries about 400 calories, making it a satisfying and flavorsome fall dish.

One unique tip for this recipe is to roast the diced pumpkin in the oven before adding it to the risotto. This will enhance the sweetness and depth of flavor in the dish, taking it to the next level.

I hope you give this pumpkin and sage risotto a try and enjoy the comforting flavors of fall. Feel free to get creative and tailor the recipe to your own preferences. Happy cooking!
