I was to lazy to type this up again so I copied it from the pm Green_Orb sent me a while back
+- 2 pounds of pumpkin (maybe even a little more) (I used about 1kg of butternut)
6 tablespoons butter
2.5 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
+- 7 cups boiling water
2.5 cups Italian Arborio rice
0.75 cups grated Parmesan
Salt
2 Chicken stock cubes
1 flattened Chicken schnitzel per person
Flour
Herbs
Pepper
Peel the pumpkin and discard the seeds. Cut the flesh into small pieces.
Heat half the butter and all the oil in a large pan, and saute the onion very gently until soft but not brown. Add the pumpkin, pour over 1 cup boiling water, season to taste with salt, add the chicken stock cube and continue cooking for 15 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender.
Stir the rice in thoroughly but gently, and continue cooking until it has absorbed the liquid. Pour in another cup of boiling water as the rice dries out, and continue adding water in this manner until all the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. This will take about 20 minutes.
Stir in the remaining butter and the cheese very gently, cover the pan and leave the risotto for 2 minutes to settle. Serve hot, sprinkled generously with additional grated Parmesan cheese.
To cook the chicken, add salt, pepper, herbs and chicken stock cube to the flour. Lightly coat the chicken in the flour. Add some butter (excluded from the above measure) and a small measure of olive oil to a pan. Cook thoroughly. Serve on top of the Risotto.
This is honestly my new fav food. I could live off it !
And the rest of you seem to live off snacks and junk food. LEARN TO COOK! Its fun!
