Preparation of Five Grains with Pumpkin and Herbs
To prepare the five grains with pumpkin and herbs first boil some broth.
Then clean the pumpkin and cut it into pieces about 3/4 inch and set aside.
Chop onion and carrot into small pieces (or use my sauce base) and sauté in a little extra virgin olive oil. When it starts to become translucent, add the pumpkin, sauté it well, without letting it color.Deglaze with white wine, let it evaporate, then add a ladle of broth, lower the heat and cook for 10 minutes, adding more broth if it dries too much.
Then, add the 5 grains, let them absorb flavors, and gradually add broth, always hot, as for a normal risotto.
After 5 minutes add the frozen peas.
Occasionally, stir and try to mash the pumpkin a little, to make it become creamy.Cook for the average time of all the grains indicated on the packages, at the end of cooking add herbs to taste, adjust salt and pepper and serve.
