Directions
Such a wonderful autumn dish! It features a variety of flavors and it’s so healthy!
I recommend you try it even if you’re not a huge fan of pumpkin. In this risotto, pumpkin flavor is balanced out with fresh chives, crispy pumpkin seeds with a nutty note. It’s deciduous and exceptionally good-looking!
I use Hokkaido pumpkin but you can use other species too. Just make sure to bake it until soft.
Enjoy!

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Peel and seed the pumpkin; cut it into 1.5 cm cubes. Coat with salt, turmeric, thyme, and olive oil. Arrange the cubes on a baking tray covered with foil and bake until soft. If you’re using Hokkaido, it will take about 15 min. Take out and set aside. |

Add the pumpkin seeds to a pan, add salt and olive oil. Cook until they start cracking and release the aroma. Transfer to a paper towel to cool down. Once cooled, pulse ⅔ in a blender into coarse crumbs, leave the rest for garnish. |
