Low Carb Fall Recipes: Pumpkin Risotto with Goat Cheese & Dried Cranberries
Type 1 or 2 Diabetes? Enjoy These Healthy, Low Carb Recipes That Are Also Delicious! This Month we are getting into the Pumpkin craze: Pumpkin Risotto with Goat Cheese & Dried Cranberries
Pumpkin Risotto with Goat Cheese & Dried Cranberries
Author: Platings & Pairings – Inspired by Giada De Laurentiis This Pumpkin Risotto with Goat Cheese and Cranberries is a perfect fall comfort food. It’s rich and creamy and perfect for an elegant weeknight meal. Or try serving this to your vegetarian guests at Thanksgiving.
** For a low carb version – try to substitute Riced Cauliflower instead of the rice. Reduce cooking time to 15 min as cauli rice takes a lot less time to cook and to avoid turning to mush!
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the stock and pumpkin over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cover and keep warm.
Melt the butter in a large dutch oven or saucepan over medium heat. Once the foaming subsides, add the shallot and salt. Cook until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the thyme and rice and cook for one minute longer.
Add the white wine vinegar and a ladle of warm stock and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated. Add another ladle of stock, and continue cooking until evaporated again. Continue cooking, adding a ladle of stock at a time, and allowing to evaporate in between each addition. Cook until the rice is done, but has a bite to it, it should be creamy in texture, and will take about 20-25 minutes.
Mix in the parmesan, half of the parsley, and nutmeg. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Top with the remaining parsley, goat cheese and dried cranberries. Serve immediately.
