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.

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.
