Serve this is a first course or, add a cup of soup for a light lunch or supper.

I wasn't sure if I would like sweet potatoes and tomatoes in the same dish.

I always make enough beans to have as a side dish for a few meals as well as add to whatever soup I have planned.

A classic soup, wonderful with home-made chicken stock (see notes) but equally good with purchased stock.

With shredded, cooked beets, these timbales go together quickly for a fun (and impressive) first course or side dish.

Butternut squash or any winter squash / pumpkin work equally well in risotto.

The recipe assumes you are using purchased stock rather than making it from scratch.
