If you are frequently short of time when making dinner you might want to cook some pumpkin and freeze it for later use to save you time whenever you next prepare your meal.
I have had so many people ask me what to serve with pumpkin risotto? What do they need to add to increase the taste, flavour?
Can they make it vegan and does it work well with different meats. Pumpkin works well with lots of different ingredients as I have found out.
I am going to break this post down into risotto recipes with meat, those with fish and vegan varieties. I know some people want meat but they don't want fish or they want vegan and fish but don't want meat, so feel free to skip to the ones that appeal to you.
