Recipe Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 5 cups vegetable broth
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- ½ small onion, diced
- 4 celery sticks, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups Arborio rice
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Black pepper to taste
- ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
Directions:
1. Sauté the Mushrooms
Heat your braiser over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the mushrooms and rosemary, then sauté for about 4 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Scoop the mushrooms out of the braiser and set them aside in a bowl.
2. Prepare the Pumpkin Broth
In a saucepan, heat the broth and pumpkin purée, stirring until well combined. Once mixed, turn the heat off and set aside.
3. Cook the Onions and Celery
While the broth is warming, heat the braiser again over medium-low heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, then add the onions and celery. Sauté until softened and fragrant.
4. Add the Garlic, Butter, and Rice
Once the onion and celery are mostly cooked through, add the garlic, butter, and Arborio rice. Toss to coat the rice evenly in the olive oil and butter mixture.
5. Deglaze with Wine
Add the white wine, salt, and black pepper to the rice, stirring to combine and allowing the wine to absorb slightly.
6. Add the Pumpkin Broth Gradually
Pour in ½ cup of the pumpkin broth and stir constantly until the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding ½ cup portions of broth at a time, stirring frequently, until the rice is tender and creamy. This process should take about 15–20 minutes. Turn off the heat once done.
7. Finish and Serve
Add the sautéed mushrooms and Parmesan cheese to the rice, stirring until well mixed. Serve immediately and enjoy your rich, comforting Pumpkin Mushroom Risotto.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Pumpkin Mushroom Risotto recipe as a cozy, stand-alone main dish topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan and fresh parsley. The creamy, earthy flavors are perfect for a fall meal, and it pairs well with a side of crusty bread for extra warmth and texture.
For a balanced autumn meal, pair this risotto with a simple green salad dressed in a light vinaigrette. The fresh greens and acidity contrast beautifully with the rich, savory flavors of the risotto, making it a wonderful option for a seasonal dinner or holiday gathering.
Words from Kaileigh
“Risotto is one of my all-time favorite dishes. It’s comforting, delicious, and reminds me of my mom. My mom loves cooking risotto on special family occasions…and boy, do I like eating it! Growing up, I remember helping her make it (“Don’t stop stirring, Kaileigh!”).”
"As it’s pumpkin season now, I thought it would be fun to try creating a Pumpkin Risotto. I also love adding mushrooms to this recipe! You can omit them if you prefer or choose another, easy-to-sauté, veggie such as zucchini or asparagus."
