By Steve Mannino

INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups Arborio rice
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 5 cups chicken stock
  • ¾ cup grated parmigianno regianno
  • Salt


METHOD:

Melt the butter in a 4 or 5 quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent. Add the rice, and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes. Add the pumpkin puree, sugar, cloves and cinnamon and cook for about 1 minute. Add about 1/2 to 3/4 cup broth, and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid has been absorbed. Add another 1/2 to 3/4 cup broth, and cook until the liquid has been absorbed. Keep adding broth and cooking until absorbed. The rice will be done when it has a little bite left to it, but not a crunch. Season with the cheese and salt.
