Action 56: Autumn brings in new fruits and vegetables that are much to be enjoyed – different varieties of squash, apples and quinces and pears, cobnuts, sweet corn …. Why not have a vegan fortnight and see how many different dishes you can make?
Pumpkin Risotto
Dice one small onion and a couple of garlic cloves. Fry gently in a little rape seed oil.
Add 250g arborio rice and stir well. Allow the rice to gently brown before adding a little hot water and stir well.
Once the water has been absorbed, add a little more and stir. Add ground pepper and some yeast flakes for extra flavour. You might also like to add a little rosemary or thyme.
Dice half a small pumpkin, or squash, and add to the rice. Continue to stir and add water until the rice is nice and plump.
Finally add a knob of vegan butter and some chopped walnuts and serve.
