SWEET POTATO AND CHICKEN RISOTTO

350 g (11 1/4 oz) sweet potato, peeled and chopped
4 - 4 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 leeks chopped
2 chicken breasts fillets chopped
2 cups arborio rice
1/3 cup shaved or grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter
cracked black pepper

Place sweet potato in a greased baking dish and bake at 180C (350F) for 25 minutes or until crisp. Place stock and wine in a saucepan and heat to a slow simmer. Place oil and butter in a heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Add leek and cook until soft and golden. Add chicken to pan and cook for 4 minutes or until browned. Remove chicken mixture from pan using a slotted spoon and set aside.

Add rice and cook in pan juices until rice is translucent. Add stock a cup at a time to rice and stir continuously. Just before risotto is cooked, add chicken mixture and parmesan and stir well. Mash half the sweet potato with butter and add it to risotto.

To serve, place risotto on a serving plate and top with remaining roasted sweet potato. Add cracked black pepper.

Serves 4.
