Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large measuring cup, whisk together 1 cup of vegetable broth and pumpkin purée until well combined. Set aside.
  3. In an oven-safe pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the finely chopped shallot for about 1 minute and add minced garlic for an additional 30 seconds.
  4. Pour in ½ cup of dry white wine and let it cook for 1 minute, scraping any bits from the pot.
  5. Stir in the prepared pumpkin-broth mixture, remaining vegetable broth, herbs, nutmeg, and red pepper flakes.
  6. Add 1 cup of Arborio brown rice to the boiling liquid, cover with a lid, and bake for 60-70 minutes until the rice is tender.
  7. Remove from oven and stir in 4 ounces of crumbled goat cheese until creamy. Adjust with additional broth if needed.
  8. Top each portion with reserved goat cheese, dried cranberries, and pumpkin seeds before serving.
