The lost land..
serve 2/3

Ingredients
gr 300-400 small sugar pumpkin (peeled, seeded and chopped)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tbsp fresh butter
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
3 cups arborio rice or rice can maintain the cook process (mean doesn't come too soft)
6 cups chicken or vegetable stock, at a simmer
mature pecorino cheese, grated

Method
Melt the butter and olive oil in a large non-stick sauce pan.
Sauté the pumpkin pieces and the onion until the pumpkin is soft.
Add the rice and lightly toast it in the olive oil, butter and vegetable mixture.
This should be done on low heat for two or three minutes.
Add two cups of the broth, and bring to a low boil, stirring frequently.
When this liquid is absorbed, add two more cups.
Add additional broth after this is absorbed, as needed.
The rice should be al dente and creamy, and the process should take about 20 minutes.
At the end, I like to add another tablespoon of butter and up to half a cup of grated pecorino cheese.

Wine suggest, : dry White wine or strong red .
