Pumpkin & Sun Dried Tomato Risotto with Silverbeet, Basil & Parmesan
It's true that risotto generally requires a bit of attention, but we think it's totally worth it! In this dish, the pumpkin slowly cooks with the arborio rice and stock, retaining it's shape. The sundried tomatoes pack a little punch of extra flavour. Finished off with butter and parmesan, it's a little mid-week decadence. Enjoy with a crisp white wine.

Prepare Ingredients:
Peel and small dice 3⁄4 of the onion (you will have remainder). Peel and de-seed pumpkin, cutting into 1 cm pieces. Pick basil leaves, discarding stems. De-stem silverbeet and roughly chop leaves.
Cook Onion & Pumpkin:
Heat oil in a deep sided pan or pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and pumpkin and cook for 8 minutes, until they begin to soften. Meanwhile boil the kettle and combine 2 cups hot water with vege stock concentrate in a jug.
Add Rice & Wine:
Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until the grains of the rice appear glassy. Add the wine and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes or until the wine has been absorbed.
Add Stock:
Add 1⁄2 the stock to the rice mixture. Stir constantly until the liquid is completely absorbed before adding more. Continue adding 1⁄2 cupfuls of stock for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender yet firm to the bite and the risotto is creamy. Add sundried tomatoes and silverbeet (see tip).
Finish Risotto:
Cook a further minute or 2, until silverbeet has wilted. To finish, gently fold through butter and parmesan (reserving a little for garnish). Check seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper if necessary.
