Ingredients
Method
1.For risotto, heat oil in a large heavy-based saucepan or deep frying pan over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft (3 minutes). Add rice and stir for 1 minute to coat. Add wine and stir until absorbed (1 minute). Add rosemary, stir occasionally, until rosemary is fragrant (2 minutes).
2.Add pumpkin with 200ml stock and stir frequently until stock is absorbed (3-5 minutes), then add remaining stock 200ml at a time, stirring until absorbed before adding more. Cook until rice is al dente and pumpkin has broken down and coloured the risotto (20-25 minutes).
3.Meanwhile, for brown butter, heat 60gm butter in a small saucepan over high heat; cook, swirling pan until foaming, brown and has a nutty smell. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Keep warm and set aside.
4.Remove risotto from heat and stir in cheeses, remaining butter and nutmeg; season to taste. Divide among bowls, drizzle with burnt butter and scatter with extra Gorgonzola.
