Cheesy Pumpkin Risotto image

I had pumpkin risotto as a side dish at a local restaurant. It was delicious, so I inquired about its ingredients and preparation and was able to devise my own recipe based on the hints from the restaurant.

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped sweet onion
¾ cup Arborio rice
½ cup Sauvignon Blanc wine
4 cups simmering hot chicken broth, divided
½ cup canned pumpkin puree
½ cup grated Gruyere cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • Remove saucepan from heat to add pumpkin puree, Gruyere cheese, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper into the rice mixture, stirring until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
