  • Difficulty: Easy
Servings: 4 yield(s)
Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 40 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tin of SPAM (chopped into cubes)
  • 2 knobs of butter
  • 1 onion (peeled & finely chopped)
  • 300 g risotto rice
  • 175 ml white wine
  • 1 l chicken stock
  • 200 g frozen peas
  • 120 g Parmesan cheese
  • Freshly ground salt & pepper
Instructions
  1. In a large frying pan heat 1 tbsp of oil and gently fry the chopped SPAM® until slightly golden, remove and set aside.
  2. Now add a knob of butter and 1 tbsp of oil to the frying pan and gently fry the onion for 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Add the risotto rice and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring, then add the wine and allow to simmer until fully absorbed.
  4. Now gradually add the stock, a ladleful at a time until the liquid has been fully absorbed before adding the next ladleful whilst continually stirring. Add the chopped SPAM® after 10 minutes. Once the rice is cooked through (after 20-25 minutes) you should have a soupy looking risotto. Sir in the peas and parmesan, season to taste.
  5. Now add a knob of butter, cover and allow to stand for 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
