I found a Risotto recipe which I made using my slow cooker, and this was very tasty; (picture attached). It includes diced pumpkin, leeks, chopped bacon rashers, long grain rice, chicken stock, a little butter and seasoning. Start the vegetables and bacon in the microwave until softened (5 mins on high) and add to the rice and stock in the slow cooker and leave for a couple of hours until all the liquid has been absorbed (add more liquid if necessary until the rice is cooked). Serve as a meal on its own or as an accompaniment to chicken etc.

Wow thank you for the recipe! I had pumpkin risotto for the first time a few weeks ago and loved it but wouldn't stand over a pan stirring for an age just for me so this is a great idea!
Looks scrumptious 😊
Sounds and looks lovely 🍴

Wow, I LOVE Risotto - this is a really great recipe, and it looks so delicious!!!
If you use barley instead of rice it saves you from having to keep stirring. I make a leek risotto using barley. Will definitely try adding pumpkin. Great colours
Love the sound of this! Need to be using slow cooker etc as my oven blew up a few days ago..... Have to begin to think outside the box in a lot of areas of life I have just suddenly realised. Thanks for the recipe and the unwitting life prompt too, DD!!
I'm going to try this. I have a pumpkin that I wasn't sure what to do with and I have a slow cooker that I hardly ever use.
I have a can of pumpkin left over think I will try using the recipe with can. I have a squash on the cabinet needing to be used this will used later in the week for that, and a small pumpkin when my husband goes on business for the next week I'll cup up and invite a friend. Thanks for sharing sounds so yummy!
Looks delicious, DD. Good to see you're helping the left over pumpkins out.
This will make me start to use my slow cooker which is very lonely at the moment! It looks a great recipe thank you
i will try that
