Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 200ºC/180ºC fan-forced.
Coat the sweet potato with olive oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Spread out the sweet potato evenly on a baking tray and put into the oven for 20 minutes, or until soft and golden brown.
In a pot, bring the water to the boil and dissolve the vegetable stock powder. Leave the pot on a low heat to keep it warm.
Heat the butter and oil in a pan over a medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and chilli and cook for 2 minutes or until the onion softens. Add the arborio rice and cook for a further 1 minute to coat the rice. Add half of the white wine and a ladle of stock to the pan and stir until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid, add the remaining wine and another ladle of stock and continue this process until all of the stock is absorbed and the rice is al dente.
Stir the sweet potato and baby spinach into the rice and then distribute evenly between bowls. Garnish with some parsley, a squeeze of lemon and a good grating of parmesan. Did you know? Onion has been grown in Egypt for over 5000 years and was regarded as a symbol of the universe in the ancient world.
