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.

    Dice aprox 1 cup of your favourite mushrooms (I used simple white cup mushrooms to use them up)

    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 1.5, 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, mushrooms 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.

  • I didn't roast the pumpkin first, added extra cup...

    I didn't roast the pumpkin first, added extra cup of mushrooms and upped the spinach to a full packet 150g. I just stirred in the spinach before letting it sit for 10 mins. Nice, a little gluggy, will omit a little water next time as extra came out of uncooked pumpkin and will add cumin! One of my favourite quick dinners now in the thermomix

  • This recipe was yum, I added

    This recipe was yum, I added 175g diced bacon& didn't have fresh spinach so I used frozen defrosted in the microwave. Also next time I make it I will lengthen the cooking time to 15minutes because the rice was too crunchy for my liking. Thanks for sharing!
