Cut pumpkin flesh into 1cm-large dices, salt, squeeze out slightly after 30 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a deep pot, roast diced bacon, add onions and wait until transparent (not brown).
Add rice, deglaze with wine, reduce heat and slowly add hot vegetable stock while continuously stirring. The rice must never swim. Add pumpkin dices after about 12 minutes. As soon as the rice is firm to the bite, add butter, Parmesan, chopped parsley, garlic, pumpkin seeds, salt and pepper. (Adding of cream makes the risotto richer). Sprinkle with Parmesan before serving.
If you want to enhance the pumpkin aroma you can add a couple of drops of pumpkinseed oil before serving.
Gasthaus Wachtberg hope that it turns out well !
