Thanksgiving Risotto
Pumpkin risotto with goat cheese and dried cranberries is a rich, creamy autumn dish perfect for an elegant vegetarian dinner reminding American Thanksgiving.
Pumpkin is a real craze! It is excellent in the kitchen in the most varied proposals, in soups, grilled, roasted, for spiced biscuits for children, the iconic spiced pumpkin milk and of course for making risottos. Eating a good risotto causes different sensations of pleasure, but cooking and letting your loved ones and friends taste your Thanksgiving Risotto with Pumpkin SIpo Sapori del Mio Orto is priceless! The risotto preparation process is quite easy, but care must be taken by adding a ladle of vegetable broth from time to time, letting it absorb completely between each addition. Cooking takes about 18 minutes, from the beginning that like hard grains of rice, they become plumper, then thanks to an energetic creaming it will take on an incredible creamy consistency. This surprising fall risotto combines pumpkin and dried cranberries reminiscent of American Thanksgiving Day, plus this risotto is totally vegetarian, a perfect option for those on a meat- and fish-free diet.
Pumpkin gives a rich and fragrant flavor, goat cheese adds intense creaminess and dried cranberries add flavor and aroma as well as add a nice color to the dish.

We suggest some matching wines for this sublime Risotto
Barolo has strong tannins and a great body that will cut through the creaminess of this dish.
Or with the buttery notes, Chardonnay goes well with the creamy risotto and the scent of pumpkin.
Finally, we cannot fail to suggest the Prosecco bubbles that are always welcome, especially for a special occasion.
