Parmesan Pumpkin Rice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Scoop the flesh out of the pumpkin, remove the seeds and finely dice the flesh. Wrap in aluminum foil and cook in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel and chop the onion and saute gently using 1 tablespoon butter. Add the rice and saute gently until translucent. Then gradually add the vegetable stock, stirring frequently. The rice should be cooked when it has taken up all the stock (about 30 minutes cooking time).

10 minutes before the end of the cooking time carefully stir in the diced pumpkin. Before serving mix in the rest of the butter and the Parmesan cheese and season to taste with salt and pepper.
