Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 leek finely sliced

¼ pumpkin diced into cubes

PRODUCTS

3 tbsp of Chicken Bone Broth Turmeric

Method

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius 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.
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.
In a separate pot combine the vegetable stock, water, bone broth and turmeric until hot but not boiling.
Heat remaining oil in the same saucepan on medium. Sauté leek for 1-2 minutes, until starting to soften. Season to taste.
Deglaze the pan with the vinegar, stirring to loosen the caramelised bits.
Stir rice and smoked paprika through and cook for 1 minute or until they begin to become translucent.
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.
Add chicken and pumpkin and heat through.
Sprinkle on parmesan.
