Baked Pumpkin Goat Cheese Risotto: A Cozy Autumn Delight

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped shallot
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated or minced
  • 1 1/2 cup arborio brown rice
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 4 cup low sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon fresh chopped sage
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 ounce goat cheese (reserve 1 ounce for topping)
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoon pumpkin seeds

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.

2. 2. In an oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, sautéing until they are translucent and fragrant.

3. 3. Add the arborio rice and stir for 2–3 minutes, allowing the grains to toast lightly.

4. 4. Pour in the white wine and cook until it is mostly absorbed.

5. 5. Stir in the vegetable broth, pumpkin purée, sage, rosemary, nutmeg, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.

6. 6. Cover the skillet or Dutch oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the rice is tender and creamy.

7. 7. Remove the risotto from the oven and stir in 3 ounce of the goat cheese and the dried cranberries until the cheese is fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.

8. 8. Sprinkle the reserved 1 ounce of goat cheese and the pumpkin seeds on top before serving.

Notes

For a creamier texture, substitute goat cheese with cream cheese or feta.

You can add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or roasted butternut squash for more vegetables.

Consider incorporating additional herbs like thyme or oregano for enhanced flavors.
