Recipe's preparation

    To roast the pumpkin

  1. Place diced pumpkin onto a tray lined with baking paper.  Drizzle with olive oil and season.  Bake in a preheated oven at 200deg for 10-20 minutes until the edges are just caramelised.  You can do this while your risotto is cooking.

     

    2. To toast the pine nuts

  2. Toast pine nuts in a dry non-stick saucepan over medium heat until lightly toasted.  You can do this while the risotto is cooking.

     

    3. Making the risotto

  3. Chop the parsley 3 secs/speed 7.  Set aside.

    Grate the parmesan 10 secs/speed 9.  Set aside.

    Chop the onion and garlic 3 secs/speed 4.  Scrape down the sides and repeat.

    Weigh in the olive oil and butter and saute (without the measuring cup on) 3 mins/Varoma/speed 1.

    Add the rice and cook 1 min/Varoma/Counter-clockwise operation/speed 1.5 (no MC).

    Add verjuice and cook 3 mins/Varoma/Counter-clockwise operation/speed 1.5 (no MC).  Scrape the bottom with the spatula (to loosen any rice).

    Add stock (it will be just below the max line) and cook 15 mins/100deg/Counter-clockwise operation/speed 1.5.  I put the thermomix basket on top as it tends to bubble.

    Add about 2/3 of the roasted pumpkin, half of the grated parmesan and seasoning to taste.  Cook 4 mins/100deg/Counter-clockwise operation/speed 1.5.  Use the thermomix spatula to incorporate the pumpkin and parmesan while it's cooking.

    (optional: fill your thermoserver with boiling water for approx the last minute of risotto cooking - will help keep leftovers hot)

    Put spinach leaves in the base of your thermoserver and pour the risotto on top.  Top with remaining roast pumpkin, pine nuts and approx 100mL boiling water.  Give it a good stir and let it sit for 5 minutes - check it every now and again and add more boiling water if it is getting dry.

    Serve topped with freshly grated black pepper, remaining parmesan and parsley.  Enjoy tmrc_emoticons.) Yum!

Tip

Freezes well.

This is derived from a Maggie Beer recipe aired on The Cook and the Chef (ABC) quite a few years ago - I made her original recipe many times but have adapted it for the tmx and added a few extra ingredients.  Hope you like it tmrc_emoticons.)
