Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Medium saucepan
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups sweet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 cup arborio rice
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 fresh sage leaves chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and sauté until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Remove from pot and set aside.
  • In the same pot, heat butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Add arborio rice to the pot and stir constantly for 1 minute.
  • Pour in white wine and cook until it has been almost entirely absorbed by the rice.
  • Slowly add vegetable broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring until almost completely absorbed before adding more.
  • After about 30 minutes of stirring and adding broth, the rice should be tender and creamy. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped sage leaves and cook until crispy, about 1 minute.
  • Serve risotto in individual bowls and top with cooked sweet potatoes and crispy sage leaves.
