"This classic risotto celebrates the velvety sweetness of cooked kabocha squash combined with the firm texture of al dente arborio rice. Fresh sage fried in butter and parmesan cheese crown the preparation with sophistication."
- Toasting the arborio rice grains preserves the starchy core to ensure an al dente texture. - The heated vegetable broth added gradually activates the controlled release of starch from the grains. - The final mantecatura with cold butter and parmesan off the heat ensures shine and creamy texture.
Start by preparing the pumpkin. In a small pot, sauté the pumpkin cubes with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt until tender. Reserve a part for decoration and mash the rest coarsely with a fork, forming a puree. Mantenha aquecido.
In a separate skillet, heat a little olive oil and fry the fresh sage leaves until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to remove excess oil. Season with a pinch of salt. They will be the crunchy finishing touch for your dish.
For the risotto, heat the remaining olive oil and half of the butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, feeling the aroma spread.
Add the arborio rice to the pan and stir vigorously for 2 minutes until the grains become pearly. This step, known as toasting the rice, seals the grains and helps maintain their texture. Elevate the flavor of your risotto by ensuring this initial preparation.
Pour in the dry white wine and cook, stirring constantly, until it is completely absorbed by the rice. The alcohol will evaporate, leaving only a subtle and complex flavor that enriches the risotto base. It is essential for the final flavor profile.
Start adding the hot vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously. Wait for each addition of broth to be almost completely absorbed before adding the next. Continue this process for approximately 15-20 minutes, until the rice is al dente.
When the rice is cooked to your liking, add the reserved pumpkin puree and stir well to incorporate. In simple terms: this step is crucial for the creaminess and intense flavor of the squash. Adjust the salt and black pepper according to your personal taste.
Remove the risotto from the heat and add the remaining butter and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir vigorously for about a minute. This technique, called mantecatura, is the key to a super creamy and shiny risotto. Let it rest for a minute before serving.
Serve the risotto immediately on warmed plates. Garnish each serving with the reserved pumpkin cubes and crispy sage leaves. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and, if desired, more grated parmesan cheese. Enjoy the combination of textures and flavors!

Conserve em vasilha fechada na geladeira por até 2 dias. When reheating in the skillet, add 3 tablespoons of hot broth and 1 teaspoon of butter, stirring until it regains creaminess.
It is not recommended to freeze ready-made risotto. Cooked rice grains lose their al dente structure after thawing, becoming spongy, dry, and devoid of their characteristic creaminess.
Pairs well with grilled filet mignon medallions, herb-roasted chicken breast, or a salad of bitter greens.
Sauté the pumpkin cubes with olive oil and a little broth until completely soft and mash with a fork or pass through a blender. Reserve some whole cubes to decorate the dishes at the moment of serving.
The acidity of the white wine cuts the starch and fat of the dish, balancing the natural sweetness of the kabocha squash. The alcohol evaporates completely in the first few minutes, leaving only aroma and freshness.
The thermal shock of cold butter with the heat of the rice creates a stable, silky emulsion between the fat and suspended starch, producing the classic 'all'onda' effect without being oily.
The time varies between 16 and 18 minutes of cooking from the first ladle of broth. The grain should be translucent on the outside and offer slight resistance in the center when chewed.
