Risotto with Ham
A simple and flavorful risotto made with ham, onion, and Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
- 50 g Cooked Ham (About 2 ounces, diced)
- 1 small Onion (Finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (Divided)
- 0.5 cup Arborio Rice
- 1 cup Chicken Bouillon (Or water)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt (To taste)
- 0.125 teaspoon Black Pepper (To taste)
- 1 dash Nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese (Grated)
Instructions
- 1Dice the ham into small pieces. Chop the onion finely.
- 2In a frying pan or saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced ham and chopped onion. Fry slowly until the ham and onions are golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- 3Add the uncooked rice to the pan and cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until the rice is lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
- 4Add the bouillon (or water), salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
