INGREDIENTS

1/2 medium Hokkaido pumpkin
5 cloves of garlic
Salt
pepper (I recommend red Kampot pepper)
140 g ricotta
60 g whipping cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 white onion
200 g Arborio rice
1 dl dry white wine
750 ml - 1 l chicken or beef broth
50 g Gran Moravia or Parmesan cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
2
Wash the pumpkin and cut it into larger pieces, place it in a baking dish.
3
Peel the garlic and also place it in the baking dish.
4
Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake for 20 - 30 minutes until tender in the oven.
5
Heat the broth in a saucepan.
6
Meanwhile, heat the 2nd tablespoon of olive oil in a deep pan, peel the onion and chop it finely.
7
Sauté the onion and add the rice, lightly sautéing it as well.
8
Now pour in the wine and let it evaporate.
9
Reduce the heat to medium-high (on my induction hob, I have 14 levels and choose level 11 for risotto).
10
Now it's time for the broth; pour it into the pan, but only enough to submerge the rice, and each time it evaporates, add more broth. Continue this process until the rice is al dente.
11
Blend the roasted pumpkin and garlic until smooth with the ricotta and cream.
12
Add the pumpkin puree to the cooked rice.
13
Add the finely grated cheese, mix, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
14
The risotto should be more liquid; it should 'spread' on the plate.
15
Serve with roasted or grilled chicken breast.
