Instructions:

Rinse the arugula. Put dripping wet in a frying pan and just fall together with the lid closed. Drain into a colander, squeeze well and chop coarsely. Heat the olive oil. Add the long-grain rice and sauté, stirring, until all the grains are coated with a film of fat and crackle slightly.

Pour in the white wine. Bring to a full boil while stirring. Add 1/3 of the soup and cook on a low fire, stirring frequently, until almost completely absorbed by the long grain rice. Then gradually add the rest of the soup. Season with salt and pepper.

When the risotto is “al dente”, add the arugula, the butter and, if necessary, a little more soup, as the risotto should be very soupy in consistency. Cover and leave to swell for another two minutes.

While the long grain rice is cooking, cut the slices of raw ham in half, fold them like a fan and place them on a baking tray. Place the ham fans in the oven heated to 220 °C at top heat on the second rack from the top and bake for about five minutes so that the ham is lightly browned. Arrange on top of the risotto.

Tip: Always use an aromatic ham, it will give your dish a wonderful touch!
