It's annoying when you have to keep two pans on the go just to make risotto: one for the rice and another to keep the stock bubbling away. So here I have created a recipe that requires just one pan and a kettle.

Instructions

Step 1

Pan-fry the leek in a splash of olive oil over a medium heat. Once softened, stir in the arborio rice and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Next, crumble in the stock cube and add 100ml of the boiling water, then stir continuously as the rice starts to plump up.

Step 3

Gradually add more water little by little (you'll use about 400ml in total), continuing to stir, and after about 15 minutes the rice should be cooked but still firm.

Step 4

Remove from the heat and stir in the ham and grated parmesan. Season once more if required, drizzle over a little olive oil and serve.
