Serves: 4

Ingredients

For the Risotto:

• 2 tablespoons Food Club Olive Oil
• 1/2 yellow onion, diced
• 1 teaspoon Food Club Salt
• 1/2 cup Food Club 100% Pure Pumpkin puree
• 2 cups arborio rice
• 4-5 cups Food Club Chicken Cooking Stock, divided
• 1/2 cup Food Club Shredded Parmesan Cheese

For the Topping: 

• 6 strips Food Club Bacon, cooked and crumbled
• Food Club Shredded Parmesan Cheese
• 8 fresh sage leaves

Directions

1. In a large skillet or frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add fresh sage leaves and fry until crispy, about 5 seconds. Transfer to paper towel. To the same pan add onion and salt. Cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add rice and coat with oil, stirring 1 minute longer.
2. Add pumpkin puree and 1 cup chicken stock, bringing up to a gentle simmer. Stir constantly until liquid is absorbed, 3-5 minutes. Repeat, 1 cup at a time, until stock is gone or rice is cooked fully.
3. Stir in Parmesan and serve immediately. Garnish with bacon crumbles, fried sage leaves, and additional Parmesan, if desired.
