Can I adapt the Mushroom Risotto from the EDC to make it Pumpkin Risotto?

[NotRocketScience]

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this. I just took delivery of my Thermomix today. I'm so excited. I made the stock from the EDC with my consultant. I now want to make pumpkin risotto. Do I just change the swap the mushrooms for pumpkin and use the recipe from the EDC? I don't want to stuff up the first thing I make.

I've only ever roasted my pumpkin and then stirred it through at the end hopefully someone can help

What I've done in the past is to make the risotto but omit the mushrooms .. At the end after putting it into the thermoserver over a bed of baby spinach, I stirred in small bite sized pieces of butternut pumpkin which have already been given a very light coating of olive oil and a little freshly ground pepper and roasted in the oven. You coul add small cubes of fetta

I have added diced pumpkin with the onion at the beginning and then cooked the rice .  the pumpkin mashes in as it cooks.  I then  fold more roasted pumpkin in at the end.
I think you are a bit brave to adapt a recipe first off.  I had a couple of goes to get the risotto just right. There has always been a lot of discussion about how much liquid to add.  I always keep a bit extra to add at the end if needed.

Thanks for everyone's advice. I can't believe how quickly all of you reply on this forum so much so that I didn't come back prior to attempting it.

I ended up adapting it. I know someone said that I'd be brave to do it as a newbie but I thought I had nothing to lose. I ended up doing the pumpkin with the onion and garlic and it turned out really well. My family loved it.

I will try some of the other suggestions on here next time.

I'm really impressed NRS!  Took me a while to consider adapting any recipe. I am sure you are going to really enjoy your TMX.

Yes,  well done.   You are going to have a great time with your  TMX.  When I  make the mushroom risotto  I add some dries porcini to give a Flavour kick.
