Add the stock to a saucepan, and heat gently on low heat.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy-based pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, pumpkin & garlic, and cook for about 8-10 minutes until softened.
Add the rice and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes until the rice starts to turn translucent.
Reduce the heat to low, then add the stock one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked (but not stodgy).
Stir through the grated Cheddar, then leave to completely cool.
Put the flour, egg and breadcrumbs in separate dishes, then roll a ball of the rice mixture in the flour (shaking off any excess), followed by the egg and then breadcrumbs.
Heat the sunflower oil in a pan, and fry the arancini balls in batches for approx 4 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve with your favourite dip (spicy tomato, Salsa Verde or Tomato Salsa work really well).
