Cooking instructions
* Step 2
Slice the pumpkin remove the pulp and seeds then slice in to cubes. Add the cubes to a baking tray with olive oil, chopped sage leaves and garlic cloves (skin on). Roast for 20mins
* Step 3
Meanwhile dice the red onion and soften in a high sided pan with olive oil
* Step 4
After a few mins add a knob of butter then stir in the rice to soak up the flavour
* Step 5
Add some white wine and reduce. Only use wine good enough to drink!
* Step 6
Slowly stir in stock little by little to soak into the rice. Add the dried herbs.
* Step 7
Remove the squash and garlic from the oven
* Step 8
Peel the garlic and blend with 1/3 of the pumpkin. This creates a tasty ‘mush’ to add flavour to the rice
* Step 9
Stir into the rice with more stock and watch the colour change dramatically
* Step 10
Add some olive oil and butter to a pan and heat the sage. (Only takes a min don’t burn it!) Remove the sage and place on a paper towel. Allow the oil to cool and set to one side
* Step 11
Stir in the pumpkin chunks
* Step 12
You know the risotto is ready when it Al dente and still moves when stirring
* Step 13
Grate in some Parmesan and a little more stock if needed to retain the texture
* Step 14
Serve topped with Parmesan shavings, sage oil (from frying sage) and fried sage leaves. Enjoy with the rest of the wine!
