Pumpkin Risotto (Ortea Vegan Collective)
Risotto alla Zucca or Pumpkin Risotto is one of the most classic risotto recipes. It is a traditional dish from Northern Italy (particularly popular in the region of Lombardy).
While risotto is a widely known and loved recipe, it did do having a wartime implication. In the 1920s and 1930s, the Fascist regime in Italy attempted to impose risotto as a national dish. For this end, a national rice board was set up to promote consumption. The consumption never ceased since.
In this version (using a collaborative recipe with Orteá Vegan Collective), oat grain is used instead of classic arborio rice. Creamy pumpkin puree is then mixed in with the soft, slowly cooked grains. The crowning glory is the fresh watercress leaves that gives this dish its sharpness and bite.

The overall impression is one of quality!
The overall impression: is one of quality! The thick paper, colourful pictures, nutritional details, allergy info, … and preparation is very well explained, I have seen worse. Another positive surprise when started to cook is the fact that all the ingredients are measured so there is no food waste. We found the ingredients of good quality and the preparation time was accurate.
So yummy!!
Highly recommend this if you are trying plant-based and have no idea where to start. The chef creates meals with items I would have never put together, but they all taste so wonderful and the food is beautiful! Be prepared to prep and cook… but the payoff is worth it. So yummy!!
