(It's actually really simple.) In this sweet potato risotto recipe, you'll sautée sweet potato cubes with fragrant garlic before adding Arborio rice and liquid, stirring occasionally until creamy. Then, you'll add grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of oregano before serving. You have to attend to this risotto, but you don't need to stir it constantly. For best results, stir the dish every 30 seconds or so while the liquid cooks down. And while water should work well as a base, you can substitute that for your favorite stock or broth for an added flavor boost. Ingredients 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion, finely chopped ½ tsp kosher salt ¼ tsp, ground black pepper 2 small sweet potatoes (about 1 pound), cut into 1/4-inch pieces 2 cloves garlic, chopped 1 cup Arborio rice 1 cup dry white wine ½ cup grated Parmesan (2 ounces) 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano Directions Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the sweet potatoes and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring frequently, until liquid is absorbed. Measure 3½ cups of water. Add ¾ cup at a time and cook, stirring occasionally and waiting until each addition is absorbed before adding the next. It should take 25 to 30 minutes for all the water to be absorbed. Stir in the Parmesan and oregano before serving.
