seperate pan, bring the stock to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Puree
pumpkin and set aside. Add rice to shallots and cook 2-3 minutes over
moderate heat stirring frequently. Add wine and saffron and cook, stirring
constantly until all the lquid has been absorbed. Add the pumpkin and 1 c
stock stirring constantly. After that is absorbed, add the stock 1/2 cup at
a time stirring constantly until absorbed until the rice is cooked (about
15-20 min). If you run out of stock add hot water. The risotto should be
thick and creamy in consistensy and just a little runny. When done remove

grated parmesan it would add 1 gram fat/ serving.
