Oven-roasted pumpkin and orange risotto

Risotto de potimarron

Comme je suis un vrai petit écureuil, je conserve précieusement les courges dans un endroit frais jusqu’à l’été pour en profiter plus tard dans la saison. Je sais que vous avez plus envie de courgettes, d’aubergines et de tomates à cette saison, mais je suis sûre que ce petit risotto bien crémeux saura vous convaincre de l’essayer !!!

Pour trouver encore du potimarron, allez faire un tour dans votre épicerie bio, j’en ai encore vu hier dans la mienne !

Et comme il vous restera du potimarron, je vous propose très vite une moughrabieh salad.

Oven-roasted pumpkin and orange risotto

Ingredients (pour 2)

  • 200 g of Arborio rice
  • 60 cl chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 small stalk of celery
  • 7 cl de vin blanc sec
  • 1 c. to s. olive oil
  • 1/2 pumpkin
  • juice and zest of an orange
  • 30 g of butter
  • 50 g grated parmesan
  • 1 c. to s. mascarpone
  • salt and pepper

Description

Preheat the oven to 200°.

Wash the pumpkin and cut it in half, empty it and keep the seeds to make this recipe. Then cut one half into wedges, arrange them in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil. Bake approx. 40 mins until golden brown.

Heat the broth in a saucepan.

In a skillet, heat the olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onion and celery for 10 min on low heat.

Then add the rice and increase the heat..

Pour in the white wine and boil until completely evaporated then lower the heat (neither too strong nor too weak).

Add the broth to the rice a ladleful at a time, stir and wait for the rice to absorb the broth before adding more. Keep adding broth ladle after ladle and taste the rice frequently, it should be soft and a bit firm (you may not need all the broth)

A little before the end of cooking, add orange juice and zest to the rice.

When the risotto is cooked add the pumpkin quarters off the heat, butter, the parmesan and the mascarpone then season.
