Ingredients

  • 5 oz shiitake or oyster mushrooms
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 1 shallot minced
  • Parsley for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, heat half the olive oil. Add washed, stemmed and sliced mushrooms and sauté until brown (about 5-7 minutes). Season well with salt and 1 clove of minced garlic. Once browned and seasoned, remove mushrooms from skillet and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth and pumpkin puree. If it’s not whisking well, I recommend heating it up a bit. Set aside.
  3. Put the pan back on heat and sauté the minced shallot for 3-5 minutes in some olive oil. Stir in rice and toast it until it's browned, stirring consistently for a few minutes.

  4. Pour in two cups of the pumpkin broth into the rice and simmer until the rice absorbs the liquid.
  5. Continue adding in broth (1 or 2 ladles at a time) until the rice is cooked and starchy.
  6. Stir in the sautéed mushrooms and adjust seasoning as necessary.
