  2. Add the arborio rice and fry until translucent.
  3. Add a ladleful of hot stock, cook over a medium heat and keep stirring until all the stock is absorbed.
  4. Repeat this until the rice no longer has a chalky core and the risotto is thick and glossy.
  5. Take it off the heat and transfer into a plate (you will use it again in 10 minutes)
  6. Now it’s time to cook the mushrooms, seasoning them with salt and pepper
  7. Cook for 5 minutes and now add the pumpkin and the fresh herbs
  8. Give it another 5 minutes for all the flavors to get together and put the rice back again
  9. Add just a little bit of stock and cook for another 2 minutes
  10. Make sure that not all of the stock that you added at the end gets absorbed, you need some of this juice to stay when you serve
  11. When it’s ready, plate it up and sprinkle with the walnuts
