Cooks Tips...
To test if the rice is ready, take a grain out and squeeze with your index finger and thumb - there should be a thin white line running through the centre off the grain.

Method

1. Roast the pumkin quarters at 200C/gas 6 for about 45 minutes or until soft. Once done, discard the seeds. Scoop out the flesh, put it in a bowl, season and set aside.

2. Heat the oil in a saucepan and sweat the onions, garlic and celery with a pinch of salt for 1-2 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

3. Pour in the amaretto and continue stirring till the liquid evaporates. Add the stock and the cooked pumpkin and keep stirring clockwise for about 12-15 minutes.

4. Add the parmesan, butter and sage and season to taste. Let the risotto rest for 6 minutes before serving.

I may make this - I will try stirring it anti-clockwise and see how much difference it makes!
