Sweet potato and fourme d’Ambert risotto {sans gluten}

Je ne sais pas si vous avez déjà choisi votre plat principal pour le réveillon de Noël, mais voici déjà une première idée qui j’espère vous mettra en appétit. A la fois chic et simple, ce risotto de patate douce à la fourme d’Ambert est le petit plat parfait pour changer de la traditionnelle dinde aux marrons de Mamie Odette. And then, on a aussi le droit de ne pas manger de viande, et/ou sans gluten et ça n’est pas pour ça qu’on doit se contenter de manger des marrons et des pommes dauphines !!! Nous faisons peu de risottos à la maison (because we eat without milk for Mini Mademoiselle) but when we make it we always enjoy it, so for me risotto is a real party dish !
To be enjoyed with a petit large glass of wine (in moderation of course !) and I am sure that you will be satisfied !


- 1 medium sized sweet potato
- 150 g of Fourme d’Ambert
- 200 g from Riz Arborio or Carnoli
- 60 cl of vegetable broth
- 1 small onion
- 7 cl de vin blanc sec
- 1 drizzle of olive oil
- 30 g of butter
- 50 g grated parmesan
- Salt and pepper
- Peel and cut the sweet potato into cubes. Place them in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil.. Bake approx. 25 min until golden brown.
- Heat the broth in a saucepan.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil and fry the finely chopped onion for 10 min on low heat.
- Then add the rice and increase the heat..
- Pour in the white wine and let boil until completely evaporated then reduce the heat (neither too strong nor too weak).
- Add the broth to the rice a ladleful at a time, mix and wait until the rice has absorbed the broth before adding more. Keep adding broth ladle after ladle and taste the rice frequently, it should be soft and a little firm (you may not need all the broth or a little more).
- When the risotto is cooked, add the sweet potato cubes off the heat., butter, parmesan and Fourme d'Ambert cut into cubes then season.
- let stand 1 minutes and serve immediately.

26.12.16Tested and approved last month … a delight … et à la carte du repas de Noël décalé qu’on fête entre amis ce soir !
For my part, je n’ai mis que 110g de fourme d’ambert et je trouvais ça suffisant car j’adore la patate douce et j’avais peur qu’on ne sente plus son goût.
