Method

Hide images
step 1
Heat the oil (1 tbsp) and half the butter (1 tbsp) in a large pan over low-medium heat. Add the onion (100 g) and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring, until softened but not coloured. Stir in the garlic (1 tbsp) and cook for another minute.
step 2
Add the wine (150 ml) and increase the heat. Bubble for 1 minute before stirring in the rice (300 g). Season well and toast for one minute before decreasing the heat and add the stock (1 L), ladle by ladle. Stir constantly, adding more stock once the last ladle has been absorbed. The risotto should become creamy and tender but still with a little bite after around 20 mins.
step 3
Whilst the risotto is cooking, prepare the ham hock (1 pack) according to pack instructions. Shred and combine with the sauce provided before stirring into the risotto with the peas (200 g) and most of the cheese (50 g) as well as the last ladle of stock and cook for 2 mins. Remove from the heat, add the remaining butter (1 tbsp) and cover with a lid before allowing to sit for 5 mins.
step 4
Serve in bowls sprinkled with the parsley (as needed) and remaining cheese.
