Pumpkin and pancetta risotto

Serves: 2

Ingredients

  • 40g pancetta
  • 600ml chicken stock
  • 1 medium onion
  • 150g pumpkin
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 200g Aquarello rice
  • 100ml dry white wine
  • 2 tbsp mascarpone cheese
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
  • Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • Salt and black pepper

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lay the pancetta onto a baking tray and cook for 10-12 minutes or until crisp. Set aside to cool and break into small pieces. In a large heavy-based saucepan heat the olive oil. Add the onion and pumpkin and saute gently for 5 minutes. Stir in the rice to coat and pour in the wine. Reduce until all liquid is absorbed. Add the stock in 4 batches, stirring constantly and allowing all of the liquid to absorb before adding more. When all of the stock has been absorbed add the pancetta, mascarpone, thyme and half the parmesan. Season to taste and serve topped with the remaining parmesan.
