Risotto With Peas and Prosciutto image

This is one of our favorite risottos. It equals anything that I've had in a restaurant. Don't skip the lemon zest, it gives this that special touch.

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups arborio rice, 12 ounces
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
2 ounces prosciutto, julienned
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
3 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Bring broth to a simmer in a saucepan and keep at a bare simmer, covered.
  • Cook onion in 2 tablespoons butter in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add rice and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
  • Add wine and simmer, stirring, until absorbed.
  • Stir in 1 cup simmering broth and cook at a strong simmer, stirring constantly, until broth is absorbed.
  • Continue simmering risotto and adding broth, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and letting each addition become absorbed before adding next, until rice is just tender and creamy but still al dente, 18 to 20 minutes (there will be leftover broth).
  • Stir in peas, prosciutto, zest, 2/3 cup cheese, parsley, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • If necessary, thin risotto with some of remaining broth.
  • Serve immediately, with remaining 1/3 cup cheese.
  • Serves 4 as an entree or 6-8 as a side dish.

This risotto was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had used less prosciutto.

This risotto was okay. It was easy to make, but the flavors were a bit bland. I think I would have liked it more if I had used more herbs and spices.

I thought this risotto was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more salt and pepper.

This risotto was delicious! I used fresh peas from my garden and they were so sweet. The prosciutto added a nice salty flavor to the dish. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this risotto recipe several times and it's always a hit. The creamy arborio rice, sweet peas, and salty prosciutto are a perfect combination. I like to add a little extra Parmesan cheese on top before serving.

This was my first time making risotto and it turned out perfectly! I loved the combination of flavors and textures. The peas and prosciutto added a nice sweetness and saltiness to the dish. I will definitely be making this again.
