Roasted pumpkin risotto

Eek, I’m so excited! Let me present to you, the Roasted pumpkin risotto. This is the first recipe of many for the Gram’s weekend bags. As a collaboration, we are creating recipes for you and your family to enjoy during the weekend.

We thought that this would be a great way to start off your weekend. Using local, seasonal and ecological ingredients for your vegetarian or vegan dinners.

This is really exciting and Gram’s philosophy goes well with my own. In terms of trying to think about the environment all the while, you enjoy food that good for the body as well as the soul. You will find this week’s order here. Delicious Friday dinner with dessert and a lovely breakfast to accompany any Saturday morning!

For the rest of you who ordered last week, here’s this weeks menu. For dinner, Roasted pumpkin risotto with dried cranberries with crisp carrot salad. Dessert is the pumpkin spice nice cream and breakfast is the best overnight bercher you will ever try. I promise.

Now, when you use the pumpkin for these recipes make sure you roast the pumpkin on its own since you need it for both the dessert and breakfast. And unless you really love garlic in your dessert it’s better if you roast the garlic in an oven proof container of its own.
