saut‚ until each grain is coated with oil. Stir in 2 cups hot water; bring

to simmer. continue cooking and stirring until most of the water is

absorbed. Add pumpkin-cider mixture 1/4 cup at a time, alternating with

remaining hot water, stirring and cooking slowly between each addition

until liquid is absorbed and rice is al dente, about 20 minutes. Remove

from heat; keep warm.

 

In medium saut‚ pan, heat remaining oil over medium-low heat. Saut‚ onion

until soft, about 2 minutes. Add apple; cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Stir in

bell pepper, chilies, spices and remaining pumpkin puree. Stir mixture

into hot rice. Just before serving, stir in pumpkin seeds and adjust

seasonings. Makes 8 servings.

 

Serving Suggestion: If desired, season additional pumpkin puree to taste

with salt, pepper and cinnamon. On serving plate, spoon puree around risotto.

 

Note: When working with hot chilies, wear rubber gloves or plastic baggies

over your hands and avoid touching your face. The intense heat can burn

the eyes, nose and mouth.
