Cooking Instructions

HIDE IMAGES
Step 1
After you have cut the Pancetta (1 cup) into thin, short strips, heat up a frying pan with Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (as needed) and add them in. Let this cook on medium heat for around 10 minutes or until they begin to caramelize and become crispy.
Step 2
Heat up another frying pan and add EVOO and Rosemary Leaves (4) . When the aroma becomes really strong, remove the rosemary and add Onion (1/2) and Sage Leaves (4) . Let this simmer on medium heat until it begins to brown.
Step 3
Add the Pumpkins (8 2/3 cups) to the pan and mix it around with the onion for around 2 minutes. Then, spoon 2 scoops of Vegetable Stock (12 1/2 cups) and mix well. Let this simmer for 10 minutes, or until the pumpkin becomes nice and mushy.
Step 4
Squash the pumpkin down a little more, then grate some Parmesan Cheese (to taste) over the top and mix again. Once this is ready, add the Arborio Rice (3 3/4 cups) and stir it through. Then, begin to ladle the stock in and mix simultaneously.
Step 5
As the liquid disappears, you need to continue to add stock and stir it through. This process will take around 25 minutes in total.
Step 6
At this point, chop up the pancetta into smaller pieces then scoop up a small amount of the pumpkin risotto and taste it – if it’s nice and soft, the pumpkin risotto is ready and you can add around half of the pancetta and stir it through.
Step 7
Now switch off the heat and add a few pieces of butter, mixing them through as they quickly melt thanks to the heat which is still in the pan. Remove the pan from the stove. Serve and enjoy!
