Green olive and prosciutto risotto

Green olive and prosciutto risotto is a flavorful and creamy Italian dish that combines the rich tastes of prosciutto, green olives, and white wine. This dish is perfect for a cozy evening meal and will impress with its delicate balance of flavors.

Ingredients:

2 cups chicken gravy
400g
1 tbsp butter
16g
1 onion
110g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 cup white rice
230g
1/3 cup white wine
72g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
3 slices prosciutto
50g
1 cup olives
230g
1/2 bunch fresh parsley
27g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
40g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Slice the green olives and chop the prosciutto. Finely chop the parsley and grate the parmesan cheese if not pre-grated.
2. Heat Chicken Gravy: In a small saucepan, warm the chicken gravy over low heat. Keep it on a gentle simmer throughout the cooking process.
3. Prepare the Risotto Base:
- In a large pan, add 1 tablespoon of butter and melt over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently.
4. Toast the Rice:
- Add the white rice to the pan and stir well to coat each grain with butter. Cook for about 2 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.
5. Deglaze with Wine:
- Pour in 1/3 cup of white wine and cook, stirring continuously, until the wine is fully absorbed by the rice.
6. Cook the Risotto:
- Begin adding the warm chicken gravy to the rice mixture one ladle at a time, stirring continuously. Wait until each ladle of gravy is absorbed before adding the next. This process will take about 18-20 minutes. The rice should be creamy and al dente once all the gravy is incorporated.
7. Prepare Prosciutto and Olives:
- While the risotto is cooking, heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and give it a short spray of cooking spray oil. Add the chopped prosciutto and cook until slightly crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
- Add the sliced green olives to the same skillet and warm them for 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
8. Combine and Finish:
- Once the rice is cooked to perfection, stir in the crispy prosciutto and warmed olives.
- Add half of the finely chopped parsley and half of the grated parmesan cheese. Stir well to combine.
9. Serve:
- Serve the risotto hot, garnished with the remaining parsley and parmesan cheese.

Tips:

- Ensure you use warm chicken gravy for a smoother risotto.

- Finely dice the onion and garlic to ensure they cook evenly and blend into the risotto.

- Use Arborio or another short-grain rice to achieve the creamy texture typical of risotto.

- Add the chicken gravy gradually, one ladle at a time, to allow the rice to absorb the liquid fully and release its starches.

- Continuously stir the risotto while adding the broth to help develop its creamy consistency.

- Finely chop the parsley and stir it in at the end to maintain its fresh flavor and vibrant color.

- Season the risotto to taste with salt and pepper, keeping in mind that prosciutto and parmesan can be quite salty.

Congratulations! You've created a deliciously rich and creamy green olive and prosciutto risotto. This dish is not only packed with flavor but is also a wonderful way to bring a touch of Italian cuisine into your home. Enjoy your meal!
