• Saute the onions, sweet potatoes, and garlic in 3 tablespoons of vegan buttery spread in a large pot over medium heat. Cook until the onion softens, about 7 minutes.
• Pour the broth into a separate pan and heat on medium low.
• Add the rice to the pot with the vegetables. Stir to coat the rice with the buttery spread. Add the wine to the pot, and stir until the rice absorbs the wine. Once the wine is absorbed, add enough hot broth to the pot to cover the rice – about one and a half cups. Keep stirring until the broth is absorbed.
• Once the rice has soaked up the broth, add some more broth to the pot – not too much, just a cup or so at a time, constantly stirring until it is absorbed. Don’t add more liquid until the previous addition is absorbed by the rice.
• Keep adding broth and repeating this process until the rice is soft and has soaked up all the broth. The risotto should look very thick and creamy and there should not be excess liquid in the pot. Make sure the sweet potatoes are tender. You may not need all of the broth – once the rice is tender, you can stop adding more liquid.
• Once the risotto is creamy, add the peas, the remaining tablespoon of vegan buttery spread, and the seasonings. Stir to heat through. The peas should be cooked but stay fresh and green.

Make the garlic breadcrumbs:

• Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and garlic salt and heat, letting the breadcrumbs get crisp and golden brown. They crisp up quickly, after about five minutes.
• Spoon the risotto into bowls and top with the garlic breadcrumbs.
