Ingredients

  • 300g pumpkin, chopped into small 1 cm cubes
  • 1 red onion, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 200g mushrooms, diced
  • 1 tsp Grange Garlic or 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 120g spinach, wilted
  • 100g Parmesan, grated
  • Salt & pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large frying pan, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the onion and pumpkin, and fry for 7 minutes on medium heat until the onion is soft and the pumpkin has a little colour.
  2. Add the mushrooms and garlic, cook for 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms are cooked.
  3. Pour in the risotto packet and give everything a good stir for 1 minute.
  4. Pour in the chicken stock, stir to combine.
  5. Cover, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a little more stock, ¼ cup at a time, if it is cooking too quickly.
  6. Once the risotto is cooked, add the wilted spinach and Parmesan, stir through, cover, and leave to stand for 2 minutes before serving.
  7. To serve, sprinkle with extra Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Hints & Tips

  • Quick tip – place your fresh spinach in a bowl and cook in the microwave for 30 second intervals until wilted. It makes its easier to stir through your risotto.
  • Serve as a standalone meal or add your favourite protein such as grilled chicken or lamb chops. Lemon wedges on the side add a touch of zing to this rich and creamy dish.
  • This dish is also great served in bowls with a poached egg each.
  • Store in the fridge for 3 days. Suitable for freezing.
