Looks fancy, but literally costs under $10 to feed a family of 4
:
1.5 cups roasted pumpkin
1 cup Arborio rice
1/2 cup bacon
1 small onion diced
3 garlic sliced
1/2 cup white wine
1Ltr Chicken or Vegetable Stock
Parmesean Cheese.
.
.
In a pot, heat your chicken stock and bring to a slight simmer.
In a pan, add some EVOO.
Sweat off onion, garlic and bacon.
Add 1 cup Arborio rice and stir to coat the grains.
Once coated, add 1/2 cup wine and stir.
Once the wine has reduced add a ladle at a time of the stock and stir. Add the baked pumpkin, and smoosh down with the backside of your spoon.... Continue to add stock and reduce, add another ladle of stock and stir (repeat process until all stock has been absorbed into the rice and the rice is now soft and translucent).
.
Stir in Parmesean cheese.
Optional - add a tablespoon of butter to create a shiny finish. NOTE: This step is NOT imperative to the finished product and will still taste delicious.
For a vegetarian/ vegan option, use Veggie stock and omit the bacon. Using vegan Parmesean cheese.
