- 2 Tbsps olive oil
- 250 grams Arborio rice
- 150 milliliters dry white wine
- 800 milliliters Vegetable broth

Preparation steps
Bring broth to a boil in a small pot, then reduce heat and keep warm. Thaw the peas. Rinse thyme, shake dry and pluck the individual leaves from the stalk. Cut ham into small cubes. Peel shallot and garlic, chop and sauté until translucent in a pan with oil.
Add the rice and thyme and sauté. Add white wine and cook, stirring, until evaporated. Ladle in about 150 ml (approximately 3/4 cup) of hot broth and cook, stirring frequently, until almost all liquid is absorbed. Continue to add broth in this manner and cook until rice is al dente, about 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
Mix the ham and peas into the risotto 5 minutes before end of cooking. Add three quarters of the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Mix in small pieces of butter and place in preheated bowls. Serve topped with shaved Parmessan.
