SWEET POTATO RISOTTO

1/4 C onion, diced
1 sweet potato, peeled and diced
1 lb. Italian turkey sausage
3/4 C Arborio rice or risotto(uncooked)
1 1/2 C - 2 C hot water
3/4 C chicken broth
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/4 C Parmesan, shredded


Dice up the sweet potato.
Cook sausage and onion in an oven-proof dish until sausage is browned and done
Add in sweet potato pieces and cook about a minute.
Then, add in the rice, stirring to coat the rice with the oils in the pan.
Stir in 1/2 C hot water, chicken broth, salt and pepper seasoning.
Bring to a boil.
Then, cover and transfer the dish to an oven, preheated to 425 degrees.
Bake about 20-25 minutes, until most of the water has been absorbed by the rice.
Stir in 1/4 - 1/2 C water until the consistency is creamy.  Top with cheese.
Serve.

I pair it with a delicious lemony-roasted asparagus, and it makes a great meal..

Off to work ...Kimberly coming up to help me out and then do some deliveries for me..Just want it to be a sunny day.. I am sick and tired of this gloomy weather with spoty sunshine here and there.
Enjoy
Cheers
Granny
