Sweet Potato Risotto

One thing i always have when i go out to restaurants is risotto. I know its quite a simple dish but i can never make is as good as you get it in an Italian restaurant! Though this is the case, i do make it now and again. I have a mass of sweet potatoes so here we are… sweet potato risotto with my home made pesto!

Ingredients:

150/200g Risotto rice

3 medium sweet potatoes

1 stock cube

1 large onion

1 corrugate

3 garlic cloves

salt and pepper for seasoning

Step 1:

Chop up all the veggies and fry in a little oil.

Step 2:

Add the risotto rice, just cover with boiling water and add the stock cube. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3:

Bring to a light boil and keep adding a small amount of water… until the rice is plumped and cooked.

Once cooked add a table spoon of the homemade pesto!

Quick Lunch

How something so simple can be so tasty is beyond me. This meal took me all of 60 seconds to prepare, 20 minutes to cook and about another 60 seconds to eat lol

Simply quarter 3 small sweet potatoes, drizzle over a little oil (I’m on a rice bran kick at the minute), pinch of sea salt, pepper, mixed herbs and bake along side your meat of choice.

I had some thin turkey fillets but salmon or cod would be perfect. Season and bake the whole lot for about 20 minutes.

Serve simply as it is with a table spoon of pesto on top on your meat. I had some of my home made pesto left over from yesterday which was seriously delicious… Even if I do say so myself!

… Make extra and take it to work for lunch tomorrow! Enjoy!
