INGREDIENTS

  • Broth

    • 4 cups vegetable broth

  • Fats

    • 🧈 6 tablespoons butter
    • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 1 green onion, finely chopped

  • Grains

    • 1 (12 ounce) package Arborio rice

  • Beverages

    • ½ cup dry white wine

  • Fruits

    • 14 small fresh figs

  • Meat

    • 4 thin slices prosciutto, finely chopped

  • Cheese

    • 1 cup grated Pecorino-Romano cheese

STEPS

1

Heat vegetable stock in a large pot and keep warm over low heat.

2

Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Add green onion; cook and stir until softened, about 1 minute.

3

Pour in rice and stir until coated in butter and oil and starting to toast, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase heat and pour in wine. Simmer until alcohol has evaporated and wine is mostly absorbed.

4

Reduce heat to medium, stir in 1 ladle of warm broth and keep stirring until liquid is absorbed. Repeat this process, adding broth in ladles, for about 12–15 minutes until rice turns creamy and al dente.

5

Meanwhile, chop 10 figs. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet and cook figs until soft, about 4–5 minutes. Crush figs slightly with a wooden spoon while cooking. Stir in prosciutto.

6

Add fig-prosciutto mixture to the risotto when there are about 5 minutes left to cook.

7

Remove risotto from heat; stir in remaining butter and grated Pecorino Romano cheese. Let stand for a few minutes.

8

Divide risotto evenly among 4 plates and garnish each with a whole fig before serving.
