Ingredients
- 200 g of rice
- 300 g of pumpkin pulp
- 100 g butter
- 40 g of grated cheese
- 2 tablespoons of cream
- 1 shallot
- ½ glass of dry white wine
- 1 l vegetable broth
- 60-80 g black truffle
Instructions
In a skillet let a knob of butter melt and season the finely chopped shallot. After two minutes add the diced pumpkin, stir and cook for ten minutes, season with salt and pepper. Let cool and whisk to create a cream.
In a saucepan, let the remaining butter melt, season the rice, and when it has absorbed the seasoning, splash it with the wine and let it evaporate. Pour in a ladleful of hot broth, let it absorb, and so in succession bring the risotto to cook, pouring in a little broth at a time.
When the risotto is ready, pour in the previously blended pumpkin and mix well. Turn off the heat and stir in a large chunk of butter, Parmesan cheese and cream.
Plate the risotto and grate Black Winter Truffle while the dish is still hot.
