Ingredients for 6 portions
3 Tbs. of butter
1 onion finely chopped
1 cup white rice
1 cup of white wine
1 beef cube
1 quart of water
3 Tbs of fresh thyme leaves
½ cup of fresh goat cheese
Coarse sea salt
Freshly ground white pepper
6 slices of prosciutto di Parma
In a large saucepan on medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the onion until soft and transparent, 4-5 minutes. Add the rice and cook for 3 more minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until the liquid is almost absorbed by the rice. Add 1 cup of water and cook, stirring, until the liquid is almost absorbed. Add another cup of water, beef cube and thyme leaves, and cook, stirring, until the liquid is almost absorbed. Add the rest of the water, one cup at a time, and keep stirring, until the liquid is absorbed. This process can take around 30 minutes. Add salt, pepper and cheese and stir. Serve immediately with some prosciutto on top.
