Pumpkin Mushroom Risotto

I like risotto. It is comforting, easy to make, and versatile. I had some leftover Korean Ox tail bone marrow soup that I made the other day and thought of making risotto with it. I didn’t have any Arborio rice on hand so I used Korean short grain rice and I was satisfied with the great result.

Keep the bone marrow soup warm over simmering heat.

In a skillet saute onion and garlic until soft, add the mushroom and salt. I also splashed with a little bit of wine. That could be an optional step.

risotto-8

Add rice and stir for a minute.

Add chopped pumpkin and pour some soup stock a little bit at a time. You will need to stir as you cook down the liquid. Add more stock when it cooks down as you stirring. You will need to repeat this step until the rice and pumpkins are chewy and tender.

Add the cream…

and some grated Parmesan cheese. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Done! You don’t want to overcook the rice. Otherwise they become too mushy. Sprinkle some chopped parsley and it is good to go.

Simmering bone marrow soup for two days were time consuming, but the hard work pays off with many great dishes you can make with. This was quite satisfying and pleasant. If you happened to have some bone marrow soup stock, you should try. Yum~!
