      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation

    Preparation
  1. Place pumpkin slices on a greased baking tray, brush lightly with oil, season with salt and pepper to taste and bake in a medium oven (180C) for 15 minutes.

    Place Parmesan Cheese into mixing bowl and grate 10 sec / speed 10. Transfer into a bowl and set aside. Do not clean your bowl.

  2. Place eschalot or brown onion into mixing bowl and chop 3 sec / speed 5. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with spatula.

  3. Add butter and extra virgin olive oil and saute 3 min / 120C / speed 1.

  4. Insert butterfly whisk. Add risotto rice and saute 1 min / 120C / Counter-clockwise operation / speed 1.2, without measuring cup.

  5. Add the small amount of water (60g) (or white wine) and saute 2 min / Varoma / Counter-clockwise operation / speed 1.5, without measuring cup. Scrape bottom of mixing bowl well with spatula to loosen rice.

  6. Add stock, roast pumpkin, and water and again scrape bottom of mixing bowl with spatula to loosen. Cook 13 min / 100C / Counter-clockwise operation / speed 1.5, placing simmering basket instead of measuring cup into mixing bowl lid.

  7. Place the spinach leaves into the ThermoServer before transfering the risotto. Sprinkle the reserved parmesan cheese over the risotto and combine well. Allow to rest for at least 10 minutes prior to serving.

    Submitted by Lauren Rofe on 2. May 2023 - 19:51.

    Added bacon so that my kids might eat it. And the big kids (6 & 4) both surprised me and had a bowl full each (without spinach of course 🙄) 🙌🏻 . My stroke of genius was cooking the pumpkin on baking paper and then using the same baking paper to put the cut up bacon pieces on (I did 3 shortcut rashers) and cooking the bacon in the oven while the risotto cooked. Chucked the cooked bacon in at the end with the Parmesan. Hardly any dishes that way! Will make this again.

    Submitted by suzanneallen on 6. August 2017 - 20:54.

    This was super tasty and so easy to make. I followed some of the other tips by adding mushrooms and more pumpkin. I reserved about 1/3 of the cooked pumpkin and stirred it through right at the very end as I found the pumpkin mashes through the risotto which gives it a lovely flavour but I like chunks of pumpkin in my risotto. Thanks for the recipe I will make this again

  • Hi RinnaSox...

    Submitted by Thermomix in Australia on 2. February 2017 - 13:02.

    Hi RinnaSox

    Step 6 says to add the ingredients to the mixing bowl. Then you secure the mixing bowl lid. Then place the simmering backet on top of the mixing bowl lid instead of the measuring cup. This allows for steam to escape, placing the simmering basket on top stops any splattering that may occur.

    Kind Regards
