There is no better season to fill your tummy with delicious pumpkin than now.

So if you wanna be romantic and cook for 2, here´s what you need:
1 onion
1 tablespoon of butter
1/2 pumpkin (middle size)
1 cup of rice
1 soup cube
1/2 lime
a pinch of salt/pepper/nutmeg

1. Cut the onion and the pumpkin into small pieces, heat the butter in a pan and throw the stuff in.
Roast gently for 5 minutes (nothing should get brown).

2. Put the soup cube in a glass of warm water, stir and put it into the pan.
Let it simmer for 10 minutes
(you do not want to have your pumpkin too soft by now, otherwise the end result will be “le grand mud”.)

3. Add a cup of rice and give that half lime of yours a soft squeeze over all, so it adds a fresh note to everything, plus 2 cups of water.
Then add salt, pepper and nutmeg (not too much, it then tends to taste soapy).
Cook until rice is done.

I put in the peel of the lime too. I don´t recommend that, everything gets too bitter.

4. Add Parmesan and Grana Padano.

Hmmm, fresh cheese!

5. Et voila! Ready!

Make the yumm yumm!
