CREAMY SWEET POTATO RISOTTO
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Heat 4 cups of vegetable broth to the boiling point; reduce heat to the lowest setting to keep it hot.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the minced shallot and pecans, cook until shallot is tender.
- Add the rice to the shallot and pecan mixture and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in sweet potato. Stir about 3/4 cup of the hot broth into the rice mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the liquid has been absorbed.
- Stir about 3/4 cup of the hot broth into the rice mixture. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the liquid has been absorbed. Continue adding liquid, about 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup at a time, stirring frequently, until the rice and sweet potato are tender, but not overly soft. The texture should be creamy and a little loose. This will take about 25 minutes and about 3 to 4 cups of broth. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the Parmesan cheese.
- Taste and add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve with extra Parmesan cheese and garnish with green onion or parsley, if desired.

GARDEN ORZO RISOTTO
No one will believe this rich, creamy dish was prepared in less than 30 minutes! I developed the recipe when my garden tomatoes, zucchini and basil were coming on strong. Using orzo instead of Arborio rice makes the risotto so much easier to prepare. -Cindy Beberman, Orland Park, Illinois
