Method:

Firstly, prepare hokkaido pumpkin puree. Cut hokkaido pumpkin into a half and scoop out all the seeds. Put the halves onto a baking sheet into the oven and roast for 50 minutes, until the flesh is soft. Once the pumpkin is roasted, skin it off and blend with hand blender to get the puree as smooth as possible.

Meanwhile prepare chicken breasts and rub them with salt and seasoning. Put the chicken breasts in the heated skillet with olive oil. Add a splash of water, cover the pan and roast until soft. Take another skillet and sauté chopped onion until translucent. Add Arborio rice and continue to sauté. Deglaze with white wine and continue simmering, then gradually add vegetable broth. Simmer the rice over medium-high heat for approximately 20 minutes, until broth is absorbed. 

When the rice is tender, add hokkaido pumpkin puree and salt if needed. Continue to simmer. Remove cooked risotto and add shredded parmesan. Risotto is then served with chicken breasts, parmesan and parsley stems. Bon appetit!
