Total Time: 35minutes minutes

Servings: 4

  • 4 cups bone broth (or vegetable stock)

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 shallot (minced)

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

  • 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice

  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

via Platings & Pairings
  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the stock and pumpkin over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cover and keep warm.

  • Melt the butter in a large dutch oven or saucepan over medium heat. Once the foaming subsides, add the shallot and salt. Cook until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the thyme and rice and cook for one minute longer.

  • Add the white wine vinegar and a ladle of warm stock and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated. Add another ladle of stock, and continue cooking until evaporated again. Continue cooking, adding a ladle of stock at a time, and allowing to evaporate in between each addition. Cook until the rice is done, but has a bite to it, it should be creamy in texture, and will take about 20-25 minutes.

  • Mix in the parmesan, half of the parsley, and nutmeg. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Top with the remaining parsley, goat cheese and dried cranberries. Serve immediately.
