METHOD

In a medium saucepan, bring the broth to a simmer and keep it there while you prepare the recipe.

Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium- high heat. Reduce the heat to low and sauté the onion until soft. Cook for 1 minute, or until the garlic is fragrant.

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the rice and 1 cup of the broth. Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid. Continue stirring while adding 1 cup of broth at a time until the rice is tender (about 20 minutes).

Combine the pumpkin, salt, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl. Season with pepper and continue to stir until the mixture is hot. Mix in the sage.
