Instructies
- In a bowl, soak the dried mushrooms in 1 1/2 cups of boiling water for 15 minutes.
- Once softened, drain and chop the mushrooms into pieces.
- In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant and translucent.
- Add the butter to the pan, then add the rice.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the rice grains are glossy and coated with oil, about 2 minutes.
- Begin adding the chicken bouillon gradually to the rice, stirring constantly and allowing the liquid to absorb before adding more.
- This process will take about 15 minutes.
- Once the rice is almost cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed, stir in the chopped mushrooms, diced ham, sun-dried tomatoes, and canned peas.
- Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the mixture is creamy.
- Stir in the heavy cream or coffee creamer, dried parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Enjoy your pantry risotto with ham and peas!
