Pomalo od svega

My friend's Mum, teta M., gave me the recipe for this dish.
I didn't make it completely her way (some ingredients I didn't have/don't use), and it was still perfect!
The only "bad" thing was that there was too much pumpkin in my risotto, lol.

Here it goes:
1 carrot, cleaned and sliced
1 leek (only white part,said Mum, but I put the whole small one - cut thinly)
1 onion, chopped
4-5 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 small pumpkin, cleaned and cut in cubes
50-100gr bacon, cut thinly
70gr rice
1.5cm ginger, peeled (I put the powder, as I had no fresh root)
salt, pepper, red pepper powder, parsley
3/4 - 1l water

Firstly, fry the bacon a bit (a minute), add onions, garlic and carrots, and continue stirring for another 4-5 minutes.
Then add leek and pumpkin and continue stirring for another 3-5 minutes.
Then add water, salt, pepper, red pepper powder, parsly (and a pinch of rosemary-oregano-basil mixture).
Stir. Add rice and let it cook.
The dish is ready when rice soaks in the water.

Five minutes before turning off the heat, grate the ginger and add it to the risotto.

It takes 35-45 minutes to prepare.

Btw, teta M. recommends Knorr cube (soup), if you do add the cube, add less salt!
