Ham & Cheese Risotto

This is a delicious and easy meal for lunch or dinner.  Risotto rice thickens as it cooks, so you'll end up with a gooey and cheesy meal at the end.  I'll be adding my modifications for pumpkin risotto soon!  In the meantime, enjoy this delicious and easy meal.

Ham & Cheese Risotto

 

Place in pot:

1 ½ cups Arborio risotto rice

4 cups chicken stock

 

Bring to boil, then cover and simmer 18-20 minutes.

 

Remove from heat and immediately add:

½ cup fresh mozzarella cheese, chopped

2-4 Tbsp parmesan cheese

2-3 slices deli ham, chopped (I like the nitrate-free kind)

½ tsp dried parsley or 1 tsp fresh, diced very small

 

Add salt and pepper to taste

 

Enjoy!
