Method

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan. Add the onion and garlic and cook until translucent. Add the rice and stir to coat it. Add the stock a ladle at a time until the rice is cooked but has a little bite to it, this should take about 20 minutes. Add the peas in the last 5 minutes. Take off the heat, stir in a knob of butter and half the Parmesan. Serve scattered with pieces of the proscuitto and the rest of the Parmesan.

    Quick and easy recipe that I've done loads of times. Don't add salt because the pancetta is salty enough - I like to add some mixed risotto herbs to give it even more flavour.

    Very simple and easy to make. Agree that you don't need to add any salt as the proscuitto is salty enough.

    We are not big fans of risotto but this is delicious. I have made it with proscuitto and replaced it with choritzo which is absolutely delicious. I just sliced the choritzo in thin slices and fried them in a non-stick pan without any oil and poured the lovely oils that came out over the risotto, it is lovely. I used M & S choritzo. Yum!!! making it tonight again! I agree with Jak and Bob, no salt required.

    Good recipe, I did change it in that I fried smoked bacon in with the onions and garlic, then at the end as well as the peas I added brie instead of parmesan.... also some black pepper and basil to taste yum yum yum
