Pumpkin risotto
I also made this lovely pumpkin rice recipe this Halloween weekend. The other recipe was this Thai pumpkin soup, in case you missed it.
This pumpkin risotto was a great crowd pleaser, I definitely have pumpkin recipe options now.
Easy and tasty, the picture doesn’t do this dish justice, I don’t have much else to say except that you should try it out :)
