Ingredients
For Risotto
● 2 tablespoons olive oil
● 1/2 yellow onion, diced
● 1 teaspoon salt
● 1/2 cup Food Club 100% Pure Pumpkin puree
● 2 cups arborio rice
● 4-5 cups Food Club Chicken Cooking Stock, divided
● 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
For Topping
● 6 strips Food Club Bacon, cooked and crumbled
● Parmesan cheese
● 8 fresh sage leaves

Directions

1. In a large skillet or frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add fresh sage leaves and
   fry until crispy, about 5 seconds. Transfer to paper towel. To the same pan add onion and
   salt. Cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add rice and coat with oil, stirring 1 minute
   longer.
2. Add pumpkin puree and 1 cup chicken stock, bringing up to a gentle simmer. Stir
   constantly until liquid is absorbed, 3-5 minutes. Repeat, 1 cup at a time, until stock is gone
   or rice is cooked fully.
3. Stir in Parmesan and serve immediately. Garnish with bacon crumbles, fried sage leaves,
   and additional Parmesan, if desired.
