Make
- Heat oven to 425F / 218C degrees.
- Place foil-wrapped potatoes on a sheet pan and transfer to heated oven. Roast until potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork, 45 to 60 minutes.
- When potatoes have been in the oven for 30 minutes, heat a Dutch oven or any oven-safe pan with a lid over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and then onions and chard stems to heated oil. Saute until softened and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Stir in arborio rice and garlic. Saute until rice is lightly toasted and the pan is dry. Add chard leaves and stock and bring to a boil. Cover and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
- When potatoes are finished, remove them from the oven. Leave the potatoes on the sheet pan and use a knife to cut a slit through the foil and the top of each potato. With oven mitts or a dish towel (careful - they are hot!), squeeze ends of potatoes to create a pocket for filling. Fill each potato with butter and brown sugar. Return potatoes to the oven for 10 minutes more to let butter melt and brown sugar caramelize.
- When risotto is finished, stir in ricotta. Season with some salt.
- Serve risotto with some parmesan cheese grated on top. Enjoy with sweet potatoes.

Steak was great! I don't know what I did wrong on the risotto but it did not have a great texture. Pretty tasty though. would probably just make it the regular way.
Risotto was delicious! Used leeks from our CSA in place of the onion. Extra ricotta so we could use up a container of it. We baked some salmon instead of doing the steaks since that's what we had on hand.
Loved this! Didn’t change much except more ricotta, parm and s&p in the risotto. Very excited for leftovers for lunch!
My kiddo hates ricotta so I subbed parm. It was really good and I love having an easier way to make risotto.
Simplified it even further by cutting out the eggs from the salad, and doing a simple oil and balsamic dressing. The steak was about 1 in. thick and it came out nicely (medium to medium rare) with 4 minutes on each side and then 2-3 minutes in the covered pan, 5 minutes rest.
