2 Tablespoons Afia Organic extra virgin olive oil 2 white Onions, finely sliced 2 garlic cloves, minced ½ Teaspoons Afia turmeric powder ½ Teaspoons Salt ½ Teaspoons Black pepper 1 cup Arborio rice ½ cup non-sparkling white grape juice. 4 cups Chicken stock 1 Tablespoons fresh Sage, chopped ½ Teaspoons Nutmeg 1 cup Pumpkin puree ½ cup Parmesan cheese
How to prepare
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and add in the onions, garlic, sage, and stir until the onion is translucent and turns golden, about 15 minutes.
Add the grape juice and let it melt and stir it until all the flavors melt in the pan.
In a medium pot, heat your stock over medium heat until simmering.
Add the rice to the onion and toast, seasoning with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes.
Add in ½ cup of the warmed stock and stir the risotto until the stock is completely absorbed, then add in another ½ cup and repeat. Continue to add in the stock ½ cup at a time until it’s all absorbed, and the rice is aldente (cooked but has a light bite).
Stir in the pumpkin puree and parmesan cheese along with a ladle of the stock and stir until fully combined and creamy and serve.
