Pumpkin Mushroom Risotto Recipe

Risotto is one of the few dishes that have a separate name for the different styles made, in this case risotto Its preparation involves stirring a long time to release starch to give it its creamy texture.

It takes quite a long time to make but the end result is soooo worth it! So since I love risotto recipes so much you can expect more great ones coming in the future.

Risotto is a traditional appetizer or side dish recipe.

Risotto has been a staple dish of Italy since the 16th century when it was created by adding ingredients to Arborio rice and stirring it frequently. The result is a style of rice called “Arborio”.

Pumpkin season is a time for harvest, which means it’s time for pumpkin pies, pumpkin latte, and of course the roasting of the fall vegetable. This vegetable is packed full of beta-carotene and fiber. It also has calcium, zinc, iron and potassium.

Take advantage of fresh pumpkin and make this savory dish.

This recipe is made with butter, onion, garlic, Arborio rice, diced pumpkin, vegetable broth, and Parmesan cheese.
