Ingredients
Serves 4
2C jasmine rice
(you would typically use arborio for risotto, too expenny for me)
125g streaky bacon
1 onion
1C puree pumpkin (see notes)
4C chicken stock
3/4C cheese, grated
S&P
Instructions
Fry up bacon and onion on medium heat with a little oil till onion is soft
Add uncooked rice and mix around for 2 minutes
Add stock and keep on medium heat till rice is cooked
Add pureed pumpkin and cheese, stir
Season with salt and pepper and top with some spring onion or chopped parsley
*Notes*
I had a bunch of leftover frozen pumpkin, I just added that and a little oil in a pot on medium heat. when it was soft, I took it off the heat and used an immersion blender to puree it
Looking forward to trying this one - quick, cheap, easy and sounds tasty - ticks all the boxes - thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteNormal short grain rice is a great alternative to Arborio rice for risotto, pretty much the same thing
