I buy italian arborio rice which can be bought from a deli or fruit market.
I use a fan-forced hot oven to roast vegetables, if your oven in large roast on 200C
600g-700g butternut pumpkin, skin removed and cut into 2cm cubes
olive oil spray
4 cups chicken stock (you can use massel stock powder if you like)
1 tablespoon olive oil
500g chicken thigh fillets, diced
1 leek, halved lengthways and sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 3/4 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup frozen peas, thawed (to thaw peas stand in boiling water for 1-2 minutes)
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
serve with grated parmesan
Preheat oven to 220C fan forced. Place pumpkin on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Cook pumpkin for 20-25 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven.
Place stock in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer over low heat.
Heat oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over medium to high heat. Cook chicken for 2-3 minutes or until just golden. Add leek and garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes or until soft.
Add rice and stir to coat in mixture. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add wine and stir until wine is absorbed. Add a 1/3 cup stock and stir from time to time until liquid is absorbed.
Continue add stock 1/3 cup at a time until 1/2 cup stock remains.
Stir in peas, parsley, pumpkin and remaining stock. Stir until heated through.
Serve risotto with grated parmesan.
Tip: I add parmesan when serving because if stirred through before can make the risotto cluggy.
