Autumn time is pumpkin time! In this post I will show you how to prepare a delicious and creamy pumpkin risotto from Hokkaido.

It’s finally that time again: autumn is here and the pumpkin season is starting! Orange pumpkins are currently shining in every supermarket and on every food blog. From pumpkin seed soup to oven pumpkin and pumpkin pie, I am currently seeing so many great recipes that I have also created a new pumpkin recipe myself. The result was this pumpkin risotto, the color of which was really fantastic orange. Fortunately, my pumpkin risotto not only looks fabulous, it tastes wonderful too! Puffy and creamy with a bit of bite – that’s how a risotto should be! The delicious pumpkin pieces, the pumpkin seeds and the pumpkin seed oil round off my risotto.
