How to prepare the recipe for pumpkin and mushroom risotto

  1. First, soak the dried mushrooms in a bowl with warm water. Meanwhile, peel the pumpkin, remove seeds and filaments and cut the pulp into cubes of about half a centimeter.
  2. Finely chop the rosemary and onion and brown them in a pan with the oil . Then add the rice and toast it for a couple of minutes.
  3. Add the pumpkin, the squeezed and chopped mushrooms with a knife and blend with the white wine.
  4. Only when you no longer smell alcohol rising from the pan do you start cooking by covering the rice flush with the broth. Depending on the variety it will take 16 to 18 minutes . Bring it to cooking by adding boiling broth a little at a time, so that it is always just covered.
  5. Once ready, remove from heat, stir in butter and Parmesan cheese and flavor with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
