Total Time20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion - chopped
  • 1 tbs butter
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 400 g scant 3 cups risotto rice
  • 400 ml (1 2/3 cups) good chicken stock, more or less
  • 1 kg generous 2lbs fresh young peas (weigh before shelling) shelled
  • 1 slice Parma ham - cut into small pieces
  • Salt & Pepper
  • freshly grated Parmesan to serve

Instructions

  • Soften the onion in the butter and oil.  Stir in the rice.  Pour over the stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 10 mins.  Add the peas and Parma ham, bring to the boil again, and simmer until done, adding more stock if it seems to be getting dry.
  • Season with salt & pepper if necessary.   Take off the lid and let some of the liquid evaporate if it seems too runny.  Dot with a little butter just before serving with the Parmesan.
