Good consistancy. We added prawns and squash. Very bland overall. Wouldn't make again without changes.
I don't have a dutch oven, I actually used my cast iron skillet to make this dish. I used hickory smoke bacon in place of the prosciutto and I used a cup of frozen peas/carrots mixed because that was what I had in the freezer. I was doubtful that my husband and kids would like it but they INHALED it. There was a little under a half cup leftover after dinner. The cooking method was a little confusing and odd to me--I would make this again but I think I would try to find a simpler way to cook it.
Easy and incredibly delicious! (I substituted sharp cheddar cheese for Parmesan because that's what I had. It was a great simple meal.)
This was very good - I didn't think it was bland at all. To me it was like a fancy good version of ham and rice. I don't know if I would call it a Risotto. I actually did not do the "baking" part. After I added the broth and water I simply put a lid on it brought it to a boil and then simmered for 25 on the stovetop. It was perfect! No need to bake at all. After simmering I continued with the recipe as usual. The parm cheese is a perfect addition! Great for leftover ham. I loved it!
Pam Just had this again for dinner. It rates a 10 in our house. I make it exactly the way you presented it in the paper last year. I go easy on the fats for the extras just steam the veggies. We use a dutch oven and I think that might be the key to the success of this recipe! Thank you
I had to improvise a little because I didn't have all the ingredients. I left out the onion ham wine and peas. It was a very basic risotto but my family liked it very much anyway. We added tons of parmesan on top at the table and it was oozy and yummy!! I will definitely make this again.
Soooo good. I'd like to experiment with other veggies like asparagus but for a first time risotto cook this was great. My neighbor thought I was stirring for hours and hours. Makes a nice huge batch and we had leftovers for days. I used asiago and parmesan (it was what I had in the fridge) but I will make this again and again. What an inexpensive great meal. Kids loved it too!
this took a very long time and wasn't very flavorful. We didn't care for it. But my kids(and husband) are pretty picky.
We enjoyed this recipe but I did make some changes. I prepared it stove-top like a regular risotto. That was just as easy for me. And I had some lemon grass so I added it while it was cooking. I love lemon grass so I liked the flavor it gave the dish. The only drawback with that is fishing out the grass before serving.
