  • 3 tbsp of Chicken Bone Broth Turmeric
  • 2  teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 leek finely sliced
  • 8 oz pumpkin diced into cubes
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 35 oz of vegetable stock
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 2 cups of arborio rice
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp of smoked paprika
  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees fahrenheit and chop the pumpkin into small cubes. Bake the pumpkin with a splash of olive oil for 15-25 minutes until golden and cooked through, then set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a heavy-based saucepan on medium. Add chicken and cook until brown on all sides and cooked through, set aside, cover and keep warm.
  3. In a separate pot combine the vegetable stock, water, bone broth and turmeric until hot but not boiling.
  4. Heat remaining oil in the same saucepan on medium. Sauté leek for 1-2 minutes, until starting to soften. Season to taste. 
  5. Deglaze the pan with the vinegar, stirring to loosen the caramelised bits.
  6. Stir rice and smoked paprika through and cook for 1 minute or until they begin to become translucent.
  7. Stir in 1 cup of hot stock and cook, stirring, until stock is absorbed. Continue adding stock 1 cup at a time until each addition is absorbed, stirring and simmering for about 20-25 minutes, until risotto is tender and creamy.
  8. Add chicken and pumpkin and heat through.
  9. Sprinkle on parmesan.
