    A tasty Vegan Pumpkin Risotto Recipe that is sure to impress.

    I like how easy it is to make the delicious creamy and lush tasting dish.

    Vegan Pumpkin Risotto Recipe, an easy recipe for a favorite creamy Mediterranean Italian style rice side or meal dish.

    Vegan Risotto made with Pumpkin.

    This vegan recipes is based upon the traditional recipe for risotto.

    However, instead of the butter and chicken stock that is used, we are using vegan alternatives.

    Did you try my Easy and Savory Pumpkin Hummus?

    That hummus recipe is another tasty vegan idea that incorporates pumpkin. Both this risotto and that hummus can be served together.

    To make this recipe you will need Arborio Rice. You can find Arborio Rice here.

    What exactly is Risotto?

    Risotto is a popular Italian dish.
    It is basically a creamy and hearty rice dish that tastes good too.

    Risotto can be served as a meal in itself.
    However, you can also serve risotto as a side dish with something else.

    What usually goes into making risotto?

    Every risotto is made with a starchy rice that is cooked or simmered in a broth.
    Then there are add-ins, such as cheese and seasonings.

    While the broth that is commonly used to make risotto is a chicken broth, we however are using a vegan broth to make this risotto. We are also using pumpkin puree which gives this risotto flavor and moisture.

    Tips for making vegan risotto.

    You can used a homemade vegetable stock to make your risotto. I have a recipe for Homemade Vegetable Stock Cubes here.

    Here are some more great tips for you.

    1. Stirring the rice occasionally while it cooks is essential while it cooks to prevent burning or sticking. Also, overcooking the rice can make the rice too dry for this recipe.
    2. Arborio rice is the commonly used rice for this recipe. This is a short grained and starchy rice that works well in making risotto creamy.
    3. Alternatively, Carnaroli rice can be used for a creamier and better tasting risotto. However, this is a more expensive option.

    How to store leftover risotto.

    This is one of those dishes that tastes best freshly made and warm. However, you can refrigerate risotto in an airtight container for up to a few days. Risotto should be reheated with additional stock added as needed.
