Time 35m

Yield 6-8 side dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons shallots, chopped
1 cup red bell pepper, diced
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup arborio rice (other short or medium grain will work)
1/2 cup white wine
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons evaporated milk
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted

Steps:

  • Melt butter in large sauce pot.
  • Add shallots and red pepper.
  • Saute until red pepper begins to soften, about 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine pumpkin and broth in another saucepan, mixing well over medium-low heat.
  • Keep warm.
  • Add rice to red pepper mixture, cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Add wine, stirring until liquid is almost gone.
  • Add cumin and curry powder, stirring through until well blended.
  • Over medium heat, begin adding pumpkin/broth liquid, about 1/2 cup at a time.
  • Stir until liquid is almost gone, then add the next 1/2 cup.
  • Continue until the pumpkin broth is gone and rice is tender, or even slightly al dente if you like.
  • This can take about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • When just a small bit of the last addition of broth is left, add evaporated milk, stirring to blend, and continue to cook for about 3 more minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from heat and add toasted pine nuts.
  • Mix through and serve.

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I'm so glad I did! The risotto was delicious, and the pumpkin flavor was actually very subtle. I'll be making this again for sure!

This risotto is a great way to get your kids to eat pumpkin. My kids loved it, and they didn't even realize they were eating vegetables.

Pretty good, but not amazing. The risotto was a little too mushy for my taste, and the curry flavor was a bit too subtle. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I'm always looking for meatless dishes to add to my repertoire. This pumpkin risotto fit the bill perfectly. It was hearty and flavorful, and the pumpkin gave it a unique twist. I'll be making this again for sure!

This risotto was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and maybe some additional spices. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

Loved the vibrant orange color of this risotto. It was a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds. The pumpkin and curry flavors were well-balanced, and the risotto had a nice bite to it.

Solid 4 stars. The risotto was creamy and flavorful, but I thought the curry was a bit too overpowering. Next time, I'll use less curry powder.

I had some leftover pumpkin puree, and this recipe gave me a great way to use it up. I was a bit skeptical about the curry at first, but it turned out to be the perfect complement to the pumpkin. Will definitely make this again!
