Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon / 20g butter in ovenproof pot over medium high heat.
  • Add garlic and onion and cook until onion is translucent.
  • Add chopped sage and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add rice and stir so all the rice grains are coated with the butter and semi translucent.
  • Add white wine and cook until the liquid evaporates - about 1 minute.
  • Add pumpkin and broth, stir. Let the liquid heat up but do not bring to simmer.
  • Put lid on (or cover tightly with foil) and place in oven for 25 minutes, until rice is just cooked (firm but not raw).
  • Add remaining butter and parmesan cheese.
  • Stir vigorously until the pumpkin turns into a puree and blends into the risotto.
  • Spoon into serving bowls. Garnish with crispy sage, 1 or 2 teaspoons of brown butter and parmesan cheese. Devour immediately!

Crispy Sage Preparation

  • Melt butter in a small pan over medium high heat. Once foaming, add sage leaves and stir gently.
  • Cook for 1 ½ minutes or until crispy.
  • Immediately remove sage onto paper towel lined plate and pour butter into a heat proof jug.
