pumpkin risotto with crispy sage & hazelnuts - Creamy oven-baked pumpkin risotto, topped with roast tomatoes, crispy sage and hazelnuts.
1 Set oven to 200°C.
Boil 1L water in the kettle. Heat an oven proof pan over medium heat with 1 tbsp oil. Slice leek, add to pan as you go. Stir in rice and 2 chicken stock cubes. Pour in boiled water. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes, or until rice is tender.
2. Wedge tomatoes into eighths and toss on a lined baking tray with 1 tbsp oil, salt and pepper. Place in oven to roast for 10 minutes.
3. Place pumpkin in a saucepan with 1 cup water and 1 tsp nutmeg. Cover and bring to a simmer for 12 minutes, or until softened. Mash until smooth using a fork.
4. Pick sage leaves and chop hazelnuts. Toss with 1/2 tbsp oil and scatter over tomato tray. Roast for another 5 minutes, or until leaves crisp.
5. Fold pumpkin through cooked risotto rice with parmesan cheese (to taste) and 2 tbsp butter. Season rice to taste with salt and pepper.
6. Divide risotto between bowls. Top with roast tomatoes, sage and hazelnuts. Toss mesclun leaves with 1 tbsp olive oil and serve on the side.
Tip! If you don’t have an ovenproof pan you can transfer the risotto to a baking dish instead.
