Ingredients

  • 4 (cup) hot, full-flavoured vegetable stock or broth
  • 3 (tablespoon) extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 3 large cloves garlic, pressed or minced
  • 1/2 (cup) finely chopped onion
  • 1 1/2 (cup) Arborio rice
  • 1 (teaspoon) dried sage
  • 1 (cup) pumpkin puree
  • (to taste) salt and black pepper

Directions

  1. Keep the stock or broth lightly simmering in a saucepan. Heat 2 Tablespoons of the oil in a large, heavy saucepan. Add the garlic and onion, and saute over low heat until the onion is golden. Stir in the rice and cook, stirring constantly, for five minutes. Stir in the sage. Cook, stirring often, for a few minutes. Mix in the pumpkin puree, stirring well. Add broth, about a cup at a time, to the rice, stirring constantly and adding more broth as it is absorbed by the rice.
  2. After about twenty minutes of cooking the rice should be just tender (al dente). Season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir in the rest of the olive oil. Serve at once.

    Could I use Quinoa for the risotto rice?

    Hi Dawn! You could certainly use quinoa as a substitute for the rice in this recipe, but will need to make a few slight adjustments. First you will need to use about 2 cups broth for every 1 cup quinoa. Also the quinoa will cook up much faster than the Arborio rice, so watch it closely allowing for about 15-20 minutes for cooking.
