Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Broth
In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over low heat and keep it warm.
Sauté Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Cook Sweet Potatoes
Add the diced sweet potatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until they start to soften.
Add Rice
Stir in the Carolina Gold rice, ensuring it is well-coated with the oil and mixed with the vegetables.
Incorporate Broth Gradually
Begin adding the warm vegetable broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb the broth before adding more.
Cook Until Creamy
Continue this process for about 20-25 minutes, until the rice is creamy and cooked through.
Finish with Cheese and Seasoning
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped sage, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve
Serve hot, garnished with extra sage if desired.
