One of my favourite reasons to look forward to cooler weather is the food. Rich risottos, creamy vegetable soups with crusty bread and lots of hot cups of tea are the perfect winter warmers. Risotto is one of my favourite dishes this time of the year. It is such an easy and versatile dish to make. Once you have the basic recipe you can use whatever ingredients you like! This risotto I have made is hearty and creamy without an excess of calories. Instead of using cream I have mashed pumpkin and stirred it through which has given the dish a lovely creamy body. The hint of nutmeg is a welcomed surprise on the palate too. The risotto recipe is gluten free, and could also be vegan if you left off the parmesan cheese at the end. Not only does it make for a yummy dinner cosied up on the couch under a blanket, it also does well as a left over for lunch the next day! Yum, yumm!
