Pumpkin sautéed in butter and tossed with rice, cinnamon, and walnuts makes a mildly sweet autumn pilaf. Hearty and a little different, it could become a new favorite at family meals.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Sauté the pumpkin

8 min

Melt the butter, add the diced pumpkin, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Sauté until the edges are lightly caramelized.

2

Add the rice

5 min

Add the rinsed rice to the pumpkin and stir for a few minutes. Sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon.

3

Cook with hot water

15 min

Add the hot water and salt. Cook over low heat until the water is absorbed and the pumpkin is tender.

4

Add the walnuts and let the pilaf rest

10 min

Remove from the heat, sprinkle with the chopped walnuts, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let the pilaf rest for 10 minutes. Serve hot.

Reminder

Important: Cut the pumpkin into small cubes so it cooks in the same time as the rice without falling apart. Allergens: contains tree nuts (walnuts) and dairy (butter).
