Pumpkin risotto with chanterelles – it’s not just pumpkin porridge with rice! A real Italian recipe for risotto with mushrooms and pumpkin. More often, they cook rice with pumpkin and porcini mushrooms, but risotto with chanterelles is an exclusive chic, add fried crispy bacon, and a little white wine, and here it is – autumn in Italy! Italians generally love pumpkin – they cook pasta with pumpkin, sweet pies with pumpkin, and even stuffed pumpkin flowers, it turns out, are delicious!
Clean chanterelles, if necessary, wash under running
water. Cut big mushrooms into several pieces along. Remove the skin from the
bacon, cut the bacon into strips. Peel the onion, finely chop it. Cut the
pumpkin into small cubes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan, add
bacon. Fry the bacon until golden brown over medium heat, remove from the pan.
Add onion into the pan, fry until golden brown. Add chopped pumpkin, fry for 2-3 minutes over medium heat. Add 2-3 ladles of vegetable stock, salt, and pepper. Stew for 10-15 minutes until the pumpkin is soft.
Heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan. Add rice, mix. Fry the rice over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until the rice becomes clear. Pour in white wine. Boil the rice for 1-2 minutes, salt.
Add pumpkin, stir well. Add one ladle of vegetable stock, evaporate it on a slow fire, and only then add the next ladle. Simmer the rice in this way for 18 minutes.
