This makes 4 large servings

400g arborio rice

500g chicken breast

200g pumpkin

1 onion

100g spinach (I normally use frozen for recipes)

150ml of white wine or water

700ml of chicken stock, I normally just add 100g of water to 500g of stock

100g parmesan cheese

100g pinenuts

After Step 3: add the stock, cubed pumpkin and spianch. Close without the measuring cup and press Start to activate Step 4.

After Step 4: With a fork and mash about half the pumpkin, as additional stock was added, it mormally takes an extra 3 minutes on 100 degress. Add the Parmesan. Close the lid.
