Place your stock in a pot and simmer on low heat.

Preheat oven on 200C.  Place pumpkin on baking tray, drizzle a little olive oil or cooking spray over and bake for 15- 20 minutes.  Take out and set aside.

Heat a med large fry pan; add 1 tbsp. olive oil and sauté leek on med heat for approx 5 mins.

Add diced chorizo and cook a further 3 mins.

Add arborio rice and coat with chorizo and leek for 1 minute.   Add white wine and let this evaporate whilst stirring, approx 2-3 minutes.  Add your crushed garlic and sprinkle your thyme and rosemary into pan, stirring.
