- Boil stock and water in a saucepan. Reduce heat to a simmer.
- Heat remaining oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic until the onions translucent. Stir rice with the mix, making sure that it is coated with oil and slightly cooked. Add dry white wine and cook till it is absorbed.
- Add half the roasted pumpkin. Add stock, 1 ladleful at a time, and stir with a wooden spoon until absorbed and rice is tender. Rice should remain firm and not become gluggy (this will take about 20 to 25 minutes).
- Stir in parmesan, butter, salt, sweet basil and rosemary. Gently stir in the balance of roasted pumpkin and cherry tomatoes.
- Garnish with Spice Zen Stoneground Cracked Black Pepper and Spice Zen Red Chilli Flakes and enjoy.
