I adapted this recipe as a number of people I cooked it for didn't like mushrooms but I didn't note down the original version so can't tell you what it was I'm afraid! I made this for 4 friends before and I 'm sure we had some left over so I've put the portions as 5. I personally add some extra cream in as I like the texture quite creamy and also once I added some chopped asparagus too which worked really well.
Ingredients:
25 g butter
1 onion
1 crushed garlic clove
450 ml vegetable stock
150 ml white wine
1 red bell pepper
250 g risotto rice
125 g prosciutto ham
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons single cream
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Melt the butter and oil in a pan.
2. Add the finely chopped onion and the crushed garlic clove.
3. Stir in the rice for 1 minute.
4. Add all the vegetable stock and white wine.
5. Boil and simmer for 20 mins until the liquid disappears - stirring frequently.
6. Add finely chopped pepper and ham then cook for a few minutes longer.
7. Lastly add lemon juice , salt and pepper plus stir in the cream to taste.
8. NOTE: I keep some extra vegetable stock to hand so that I can add it if the mixture gets quite dry.
