PUMPKIN RISOTTO WITH GOAT CHEESE & DRIED CRANBERRIES

INGREDIENTS

·         4 cups bone broth or vegetable stock

·         1 cup canned pumpkin puree

·         2 tablespoons unsalted butter

·         1 shallot minced

·         1 teaspoon kosher salt

·         1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

·         1 1/2 cups Arborio rice

·         1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

·         1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

·         1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

·         1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

·         Fresh ground black pepper

·         1 cup crumbled goat cheese

·         1/2 cup dried cranberries

INSTRUCTIONS

1.     In a medium saucepan, whisk together the stock and pumpkin over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cover and keep warm.

2.     Melt the butter in a large dutch oven or saucepan over medium heat. Once the foaming subsides, add the shallot and salt. Cook until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the thyme and rice and cook for one minute longer.

3.     Add the white wine vinegar and a ladle of warm stock and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated. Add another ladle of stock, and continue cooking until evaporated again. Continue cooking, adding a ladle of stock at a time, and allowing to evaporate in between each addition. Cook until the rice is done, but has a bite to it, it should be creamy in texture, and will take about 20-25 minutes.

4.     Mix in the parmesan, half of the parsley, and nutmeg. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Top with the remaining parsley, goat cheese and dried cranberries. Serve immediately.
