2. Puree ¼ of the cubes with a magic wand.
3. Bring the broth to the boil and keep it warm.

Deglaze with white wine and cook until the liquid has boiled away. Add half a cup of stock and stir until liquid has boiled off.

6. Then stir in the pureed pumpkin and remove the risotto from the heat.
7. Stir in the toasted pumpkin cubes, cheese, parsley and sage and let stand covered for 1-2 minutes.
