Pumpkin and gorgonzola risotto

Writer: FrancescaFrancesca

Almost happy Halloween folks! I am sure we all have a lot of left overs from our pumpkin carving - as long as you bought an edible one 🎃😂


If you do, you can make some pumpkin risotto, and add a bit of gorgonzola. Trust me the sweetness from the pumpkin and the slightly salty bitter from the gorgonzola, will make a perfect combo!


Ingredients for 2:

  • 400gr Pumpkin (already seedless)

  • 190gr rice - I used Gallo risotto

  • Quarter of an onion

  • 100 gr butter

  • 150 gr gorgonzola

  • 1l water

  • Vegetable stock cube

Method:

  • In a pan, add 50gr butter and the chopped onion



  • Let it brown for couple of minutes

  • In the meantime cut in cubes the pumpkin


  • Add the chopped pumpkin in the pan, and let it simmer for around 15 minutes - keep staring to make sure it doesn't stick to the bottom.

  • Prepare the vegetable broth - boiled water and add the vegetable cube stock.

  • Once the 15 mins have passed, add the rice and keep stirring it. Let is cook for 5 minutes


  • Now add the vegetable broth you previously prepared. Keep it adding all the times it evaporates.

  • It will take more or less 20 - 30 minutes.

  • Once the rice is ready, take it out of the flame, and add the butter and gorgonzola. It's ready for you!
