Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 leek halved and thinly sliced
  • 1 small bunch sage finely sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5 cups arborio (risotto) rice
  • 4.5 cups chicken stock
  • sea salt
  • black pepper cracked
  • 4 chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 0.25 small Kent pumpkin diced into cubes
  • 1 cup parmesan finely grated (plus extra to serve)
  • 2 large handfuls baby spinach

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180°C conventional (160°C fan-forced).
  • Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof pan or casserole dish over medium heat. Add the leek and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.

  • Add the garlic and sage, cooking for a further 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
    1 small bunch sage, 4 cloves garlic
  • Stir through the arborio rice and cook for 1–2 minutes, allowing it to lightly toast and become slightly translucent.

  • Pour in the chicken stock and stir well to combine. Add the chicken, pumpkin, salt and pepper, and gently mix everything together.
