Directions:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a small heavy skillet over medium heat. When the butter begins to foam, add the leeks, lower the heat, and cook the leeks until they are tender and completely wilted, 6 to 8 minutes. Set the leeks aside.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of the butter and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until it is soft and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Add the rice, and stir with a wooden spoon until each grain begins to turn milky white, about 2 minutes.
- Keeping the stock hot over low heat, add the stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition until nearly all the liquid is absorbed. Continue to add the stock and stir until the rice is tender but not mushy, a total of 18 to 20 minutes. Before the final addition of stock, stir in the reserved leeks, the pumpkin puree, and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice.
- Working quickly, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet or wok over medium heat, add the garlic, and saute for 2 minutes.
- When the rice is cooked, stir in the cheese. Add the spinach to the sauteed garlic and cook, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes, until the spinach is just wilted. Taste the risotto and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the risotto to a serving platter or individual plates. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the spinach, toss the spinach to coat it with the olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice, and serve it alongside the risotto.
