Directions
Risotto With Peas and Prosciutto, This is one of our favorite risottos. It equals anything that I’ve had in a restaurant. Don’t skip the lemon zest, it gives this that special touch., Very good, but I’ve made other recipes for this risotto that I felt were more flavorful. I followed the recipe to a T, and did need a little bit more broth – when I tested it after 20 minutes, it was still too crunchy. I think it took closer to 30 minutes – make sure you test it!!! You do not want crunchy risotto! I added the lemon zest and couldn’t taste it at all, maybe other reviewers added more? Good recipe, but I’ve made better. But it was easy, for sure, which was nice. ***I just remembered, I did bake the prosciutto first so that it was crisp, which is how I prefer it., Delicious comfort food. Ditto the importance of the lemon zest! Thanks for sharing.
