Pumpkin and Quinoa Risotto with NATIF herbs and spices

Ingredients

1/2 small pumpkin sliced into small pieces (skin off)

 3-4 cups Stock or boiling water (may need more if too dry - need to make a wet risotto)

1 brown onion chopped roughly

A dash of Olive oil to fry onion

Method

Fry off onion slightly in olive oil

Add boiling water or your choice of stock

Allow to simmer until pumpkin is soft

It should look watery

Add Quinoa and keep stirring adding more liquid towards the end if needed.

Allow to cool slightly and thicken

Enjoy with some wholegrain bread (I used pumpkin and seed bread)

Add a squeeze of fresh Australian Native Fingerlime if you have one or use lemon or lime.
