1. Simple Risotto without Onion and few Ingredients
For my simple risotto I only need olive oil, butter, risotto rice, prosecco, broth, ham, chives and parmesan. With this recipe I even save the onion and prepare a risotto without onion. I usually have all these ingredients in my house, but when I sometimes look in the fridge with friends, it’s similar.2. Making a Simple Risotto yourself
The risotto rice is sweated in butter and olive oil, deglazed with Prosecco and the risotto is cooked with the addition of the broth. Stirring is necessary but not constant. Cooked ham cut into cubes or strips, chives rolls and parmesan are added at the very end.

There are hardly any limits to your imagination, you can add further ingredients to your ham risotto as you wish. Some suggestions in the following…4.1 Risotto with Ham and Mushrooms
You can add fried quartered mushrooms to the risotto at any time. You can either cook the mushrooms right from the start (risotto), or fry them in an extra pan with colour (better!) and add them to the risotto later. Save some mushrooms for decoration and put them on the risotto. You can also use other mushrooms, oyster mushrooms and herb mushrooms are almost always available because they are cultivated mushrooms. My risotto with porcini mushrooms is a completely different preparation and please have a look into the recipe.
4.2 Risotto with Peas and Ham
Peas are often present in the freezer and you can cook the peas briefly in the risotto. This is also quick and brings fiber into your risotto. Take a look at the picture, children also like to eat this dish!

4.4 Ham and Cheese Risotto
The risotto with ham will be even more tasty if you add more cheese. You can use the already mentioned Parmesan or Pecorino and add your own taste.4.5 Risotto Ham and Rucola
Rucola is an excellent accompaniment to ham risotto. Marinate the salad lightly with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and then place the rocket as a decorative nest on your risotto with ham. This brings freshness to the plate. Preparing and washing lettuce please note my contribution how to wash salad.5. Ham Risotto Thermomix
