September is pumpkin time! In this post, mom food blogger Moana Werschler aka Miss Broccoli shows her delicious pumpkin risotto with whole grain rice and barley.
This vegan risotto is a dream for all pumpkin lovers. To make it even more complete, this recipe is with whole grain rice and a little barley.
These go well with the nutty pumpkin flavor. As a pumpkin I recommend not the fibrous Muscat pumpkin but a Hokkaido or butternut squash, which is nice and creamy.
Pumpkin risotto with butternut and brown rice
Ingredients for 2 people:
- 200 g brown rice
- 50 g barley
- Rapeseed oil
- 4 dl broth
- 1 onion
- 5 dl white wine
- 200 g pumpkin (butternut is best)
- Parsley
- Salt, pepper
Preparation butternut risotto:
Cut the onion into small pieces. In a pan, heat canola oil, fry the onion, quench with the white wine.
Now add the rice and barley. Sauté briefly and then add 2/3 of the warm broth, simmer on low for about 30 minutes.
Add stock as soon as the rice needs more liquid. Whole grain rice needs a little longer than normal rice.
Meanwhile, peel the pumpkin and cut into small pieces. In a second pan cook the pumpkin pieces with a little broth until done.
Put away a few pieces for garnish.
Puree the rest in a cup with a blender. Add the pumpkin mixture to the rice, which should now have absorbed most of the water. After 35 - 40 minutes, the rice should be cooked.
Arrange the pumpkin risotto on a plate and garnish with parsley and the pumpkin pieces.
