Instructions

  1. Start heating vegetable broth in a separate pot. Sauté onions in olive oil over medium heat until soft (3-5 minutes).

  2. Add rice and stir for 1-2 minutes to lightly toast, preventing burning.

  3. Slowly pour in white wine.

  4. Add vegetable broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently until each addition is absorbed before adding the next. Continue until all broth is used and rice is nearly cooked.

  5. Stir in pumpkin, fresh ginger, nutmeg, fresh basil, and vegan margarine or butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. Heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until thoroughly warmed.

  7. Serve.
