200g Asda Extra Special oak smoked dry cured gammon steak cut into short, thin strips

1 onion, peeled and finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely crushed

300g Arborio rice

Method

Heat 1tsp oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the gammon and stir-fry for 5 minutes until starting to brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Add the remaining oil, onion and garlic to the pan, cover and cook gently for 5 mins until softened, stirring occasionally.

Add the rice to the pan and cook for 1 min stirring continuously.

Add the wine and cook for a further 1 min stirring. Add the thyme.

Add the stock, a ladleful at a time, and cook, stirring often until the stock has been absorbed. Keep adding stock and stirring, it will take around 20mins to add all the stock.

With 5 mins to go, stir in the peas and the gammon. The risotto is ready when the rice is tender and creamy and the peas cooked. Stir in the soft cheese and season to taste.
