Cooking instructions
* Step 1
In a medium saucepot, combine bouillon cube and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Add one sprig of rosemary to broth and set aside.
* Step 2
Peel and shred sweet potato; it should amount to about 3 cups. Remove the stems and roughly chop the chard greens. Finely chop the shallot.
* Step 3
Heat a medium saucepot over medium-low heat and add olive oil. Add shallots to the pot, and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and the Arborio rice. Cook over medium-low heat for 2 more minutes or until lightly toasted. Add sweet potatoes and chard and cook for 2 more minutes.
* Step 4
Remove rosemary sprig from the broth. Add 1/2 cup of broth to Arborio rice and sweet potato mixture. With a wooden spoon, stir rice slowly and thoroughly so it begins to absorb the liquid. Once most of the liquid is absorbed, add another 1/2 cup of
broth. Repeat this process 4 more times until all the broth is gone and the rice is plump and tender, which should take around 15-20 minutes. Add butter, half of the Parmesan, ground nutmeg and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir to combine, and remove from heat.
* Step 5
Finely chop remaining rosemary leaves. Spoon risotto onto the center of each plate and top with chopped rosemary and remaining Parmesan. Serve and enjoy!
