Pumpkin risotto with Brussels sprouts

Ingredients

Pumpkin risotto:

  • onion diced
  • garlic cloves chopped
  • tbsp olive oil
  • 300 grams of Arborio rice
  • 60 ml vegan white wine (optional, otherwise a bit more vegetable stock)
  • about 900 ml vegetable broth
  • 240 ml pumpkin puree (see recipe notes)
  • 150 ml coconut milk * (see recipe notes)
  • Salt, pepper (to taste)
  • EL vegans Parmesan / nutritional yeast (optional)

Brussels sprouts:

  • tbsp olive oil
  • 500 Brussels sprouts cut in half
  • Salt, pepper (to taste)

Topping (optional):

  • Pecans or walnuts, pumpkin seeds

Instructions

Pumpkin risotto:

  • Heat olive oil in a large saucepan. Fry the onions for about 2-3 minutes. Add risotto rice and garlic and simmer for another 1 minute while stirring.
  • Then deglaze with white wine and let boil briefly, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to medium and pour in some vegetable stock. Simmer the risotto for a total of about 15-20 minutes, gradually adding vegetable stock , pumpkin puree and coconut milk and stirring constantly. As soon as the rice is soft, but still a little bit firm, and the risotto is creamy, it is ready.
  • Then season with salt and pepper to taste and optionally add vegan Parmesan, if you like it even creamier.

Brussels sprouts*:

  • Blanch the Brussels sprouts in boiling water for 3-4 minutes. Then quench with cold water and drain.
  • Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the Brussels sprouts for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown on all sides. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Meanwhile the pecans roast in a small pan without adding any oil.
