Recipe - Rice With Pumpkin Italian Style

350 Grams rice
1 Liter broth
500 Grams pumpkin
4 Spoonfuls olive oil
80 Grams butter
1 small Onion
Salt and pepper to taste

In a large pan put the cubed pumpkin with half the oil and half the butter
and let it get soft, adding some water if necessary, salt and pepper (about
10 minutes). Bring broth to a simmer; keep it there, don't let it actually
reach a rolling boil. In a large saucepan, saute the chopped onion with the
remaining oil and butter, then add the rice and stir for a couple of
minutes. Add the pumpkin and One half cup or so of the hot broth (keep it
simmering!); stir this in, add another One half cup or so as the rice dries out,
and stir it often to keep it from sticking. Just add more liquid whenever
it starts sticking or looking dry; the rice will soak it all up When the
rice is done (18 minutes for an italian rice like Arborio or Roma), add
some more butter and serve hot.
