Pumpkin Risotto With Prosciutto image

Inspired by a dish from a small Trattoria in Florence, Italy. I recommend using good quality chicken broth; organic and free range works well and adds so much more flavor. Dice prosciutto very small. Ask the deli counter for a ¼ inch slice which is about 1/4 of a pound, this will make dicing it easy. The garlic should be very thinly sliced. And as in any recipe you can substitute ingredients to your liking or to whatever is available in your area. For example: if you don't have Grappa use a dry white wine or dry vermouth; and Parmigiano-Reggiano can be substituted for Grana Padano.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup canned pumpkin
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup diced prosciutto ham
1/4 cup sliced garlic (approxiamately 5 cloves)
1 cup arborio rice
1/2 cup grappa wine
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh sage
1/2 cup grana-padano cheese, grated
1/4 teaspoon salt, add more to taste
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • In a sauce pan combine the pumpkin and chicken broth. Warm over a medium burner and then reduce heat to low; keep mixture warm.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat and brown the prosciutto for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Add the rice; stir to coat the rice in the oil for 1-2 minutes until the grains are opaque. Add the Grappa, and allow the rice to absorb the liquid. Stir in sage.
  • Reduce heat to low. Add ½ to 1 cup of chicken broth and pumpkin mixture to cover the rice. Allow the rice to absorb the liquid before adding another half cup of broth. Continue adding the broth-pumpkin mixture until it is used. You may need to adjust your temperature so the rice cooks correctly. This process should take about 20 minutes.
  • When rice is al dente add the cheese, stir to incorporate. Add salt and pepper to taste. Divide into 4 portions and add parsley for garnish.

This risotto was a waste of time. It was bland and flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I tried this recipe and it was just okay. The risotto was a bit bland and the prosciutto was not very flavorful. I would not make this recipe again.
