Ingredients

Method

1.Preheat oven to 200°C.
2.Line a baking dish with baking paper. Toss pumpkin and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a bowl. Season to taste.
3.Spread in a single layer in the prepared pan. Bake 20-25 minutes until just tender.
4.Bring chicken stock to a simmer and keep warm over a low heat. Heat another tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over medium heat.
5.Saute onion and garlic 3-4 minutes or until the onion softens. Add 1 1/2 cups arborio rice and cook, stirring, 1-2 minutes until the rice grains start to become translucent.
6.Add 1 cup hot chicken stock to the rice, stirring often, until the rice absorbs the liquid.
7.Continue stirring in stock, 1 cup at a time, allowing each to absorb before adding the next cup, until the rice is just tender and creamy (about 20 minutes).
8.Stir through pumpkin, parmesan and parsley. Season to taste. Serve topped with extra chopped parsley and grated parmesan.
