I am not a big fan of risotto recipes because they usually taste very boring to me. This one is an exception because it uses bulgur wheat instead of rice, and because the pumpkin is an unusual (but very nice) touch.

Weight Watchers Bulgur Risotto with Pumpkin recipe

2. When the oil is hot, add the cinnamon and stir-fry for about 10 seconds.
3. Add the chopped onions and cook for about 2-3 minutes (until the onions start to color a little around the edges).
