Ingredients

Servings: 6
  • 400 g Hokkaido Pumpkin
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 Garlic clove
  • 20 g Butter
  • 1 jar (240 g) pre-cooked chestnuts
  • 6 TABLESPOONS Olive oil
  • 300 g Risotto rice
  • 1/4 l dry white wine
  • 1 l hot vegetable stock
  • 100 g Mountain cheese (piece)
  • 7-10 Tbsp salt, pepper
  • 4 Stem(s) Sage

Directions

  1. 1

    Wash the pumpkin, quarter it, remove the seeds and cut into small pieces with the skin. Peel onion and garlic and dice them finely.

  2. 2

    Heat the butter in a wide saucepan. Fry the chestnuts lightly for about 2 minutes, remove. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan. Fry pumpkin, onion and garlic in it. Add rice. Stir fry for 1-2 minutes until the rice grains start to crackle.

  3. 3

    They should become glassy, but not take on any colour. Douse them with wine. Allow to evaporate for 1-2 minutes at medium heat while stirring. Add so much hot broth until the rice is covered. As soon as the rice has absorbed the broth, add the hot broth again.

  4. 4

    Simmer open rice for about 30 minutes until al dente, stirring constantly to prevent it from sticking.

  5. 5

    Grate cheese. Stir into the risotto with chestnuts. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Wash the sage, shake dry and pluck off the leaves. Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a pan and fry the sage until crispy.

  6. 6

    To serve, sprinkle the risotto with sage oil.
