INGREDIENTS

MAKE IT

Step 1

Bring chicken broth to a boil in medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low; keep warm.

Step 2

Melt butter and oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Add rice; cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Add wine; simmer, stirring frequently, until all liquid is absorbed. Stir in pumpkin.

Step 3

Add 3/4 cup chicken broth to rice. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring frequently, until absorbed. Continue adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more broth. Rice should be tender but still firm to the bite and mixture should be creamy. This should take about 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in sweetened dried cranberries and 1/4 cup cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste. If desired, garnish with additional Parmesan Cheese.
