What is a recipe Simple Risotto? I have thought about it and come to the following insight and idea. Risotto is quick and easy if the ingredients are at home or readily available. I show a risotto with ham, you only need a few ingredients. In the article there are again lots of tips and tricks and my cooking video for simple risotto accompanies you step by step. Good luck! I’m happy if you share the post on Facebook and Pinterest.

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. The recipe for the simple risotto with ham and chives can be found at the end of the page, here is the cooking video, so that the step by step success.

In the video I show the preparation without sweating rice – this is also possible…

4. Variations for your Risotto with Ham

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!

4.3 Risotto with Parma Ham

Risotto with Parma ham, the air-dried ham hits the spot and pleases the eye! Parma ham is naturally a dream to the Risotto and fits excellently. Please do not cook Parma ham along with the risotto but serve it raw. It will swindle a lot when you heat it up. You can also put the Parma ham as a “rim” in a ring and then fill it with risotto. See the picture above this paragraph.

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.
