• 1L hot vegetable stock, plus extra splash if needed
• 50g grated parmesan 
• salt and pepper

Method

1. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/ Gas 4. Place diced pumpkin and hollowed pumpkin on a baking tray. Drizzle over some oil and roast for 30 mins. 
2. Heat 1-2 tbsp oil with the butter in your pan over a medium heat. Add the onions and garlic. Once the onions are soft but not getting brown, add the rice and cumin. Stir well to coat in the buttery mix for about 1 min.
