From the Test Kitchen

We’re taking a comfort food favorite, risotto (a classic Italian dish of rice slow-cooked in liquid until creamy and al dente), and adding fresh, juicy tomatoes and creamy mascarpone cheese for rich flavor, plus a topping of crispy prosciutto for textural contrast and delightfully salty flavor.

One-Pot Tomato & Parmesan Risotto with Crispy Prosciutto
Title
  • 3 oz Prosciutto
  • ½ lb Grape Tomatoes
  • 1 cup Carnaroli Rice
  • ¼ tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 2 Tbsps Mascarpone Cheese
  • 2 Scallions
  • 1 oz Salted Butter
  • ¼ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 Tbsp Verjus Rouge Or Sherry Vinegar
  • 1 Yellow Onion
Prepare the ingredients
1 Prepare the ingredients

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Stack the prosciutto (removing the plastic lining between the slices), then thinly slice crosswise. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. Halve, peel, and small dice the onion.

Crisp the prosciutto
2 Crisp the prosciutto

In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced prosciutto. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking apart any clumps, 4 to 5 minutes, or until crispy. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pot, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

In the pot of reserved fond, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced white bottoms of the scallions and diced onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the rice, tomatoes, verjus or vinegar, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined and the rice is toasted. Add 2 ½ cups of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter) and season with salt and pepper; stir to combine. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, 16 to 18 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is al dente (still slightly firm to the bite). Turn off the heat.
