Pumpkin, Fennel, & Onion Risotto
I love it when an “experiment” comes together as a really great dish! One of my absolute favorite things to make is risotto! I quite enjoy standing over the stove with a glass of wine & stirring, stirring, stirring…
I’d made “Fennel & Onion Risotto” in the past & knew that it was a win! I had more CSA fennel on hand & 1/2 a can of pureed pumpkin left over from my pancake feast, & got to thinkin’…
I did a little googling & found that fennel & pumpkin go well together, so I followed the previous recipe, but added 1/3 cup of canned pumpkin to the dish in the last few minutes of cooking. Then, I sprinkled in a dash of cinnamon & allspice for some Fall warmth, & finished it with fresh sage instead of parsley.
The result…perfectly rich, creamy, comforting & decadent risotto!
