A classic dish that has been around for centuries, risotto is a great example of how simple ingredients can be combined to create an amazing meal. This particular variation combines peas and prosciutto with arborio rice for a delicious flavor combination.
4 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 large onion, finely chopped
1 1/3 cup arborio rice
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/4 pound prosciutto, sliced in half inch strips
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter or cream
salt and pepper, to taste
Heat the chicken broth in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low to keep the broth warm.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 3 minutes.
Add the rice and cook, stirring frequently, until the rice begins to toast and is coated in the oil, about 2 minutes.
Add the wine to the rice and let cook, stirring constantly, until the wine is almost completely absorbed.
Reduce the heat to medium. While stirring, add the chicken broth in 1/3 cup increments, and cooking until the rice has absorbed each increment of broth. Repeat the process of adding the broth while stirring constantly until the rice is al dente, about 20 minutes.
During the last few minutes of cooking time, add the peas and prosciutto to the rice. When the rice has absorbed the last of the liquid, turn off the heat and stir in the Parmesan and butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
