Pumpkin risotto

My ultimate comfort food. I make this so often I don't need a recipe but here it is for everybody else. Enjoy!

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 15  g butter
• 1  tablespoon olive oil
• 1  onion
• 2  cloves garlic, crushed
• 6  mushrooms, sliced
• 1 1⁄2 cups arborio rice
• 1  cup  diced pumpkin (I use butternut)
• 3 -4  cups  hot  stock (chicken or vegetable)
• 1⁄2 cup  grated parmesan cheese
•  salt
•  freshly ground black pepper
• 1⁄2 cup  chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

1. Heat butter and oil together in a large saucepan or frypan.
2. Gently cook the onion and garlic.
3. Add the rice and cook, stirring until the rice is coated in the oil mix.
4. Cook this about 1 minute.
5. Stir in the pumpkin and mushrooms.
6. Pour over 1 cup of the hot stock.
7. Cook, stirring often until the liquid is almost all absorbed.
8. You don't want the liquid to be boiling in with the rice, just a gentle simmer.
9. Continue stirring and adding stock one cup at a time until the stock is all absorbed and the rice is tender.
10. This takes about 20 minutes.
11. You don't need to stand there stirring the whole time if you use a non-stick pot and return often.
12. Stir in the parmesan cheese,seasoning and parsley.
13. It will go lovely and sticky with the cheese.
14. Serve immediately.
