Ingredients

  • 4 cups of flavorful vegetable broth
  • 6 divided tablespoons of rich butter
  • A drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil
  • Finely chopped green onion for a hint of freshness
  • A package of Arborio rice, about 12 ounces
  • ½ cup of dry white wine for a touch of sophistication
  • A handful of small, fresh figs, with a few set aside
  • Finely chopped prosciutto in four delicate slices
  • A generous amount of grated Pecorino-Romano cheese to your liking

Step 1

Begin by warming the vegetable stock in a sizable pot, keeping it gently heated over a low flame. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-low heat. Sauté the green onions until they soften, for about a minute. Next, add the rice, stirring until it's thoroughly coated in the buttery mixture and begins to toast, which should take around 2 to 3 minutes. Increase the heat and pour in the wine, letting it simmer until most of the alcohol evaporates and the wine is absorbed. Lower the heat to medium, and gradually incorporate a ladle of the hot broth into the rice, stirring continuously until it transforms into a creamy texture. Continue this process, adding one ladle of broth at a time, until the rice reaches the desired al dente consistency, usually taking around 12 to 15 minutes.

Step 2

While the risotto is cooking, finely chop 10 figs. In a separate skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and cook the diced figs until they turn tender and are coated in the buttery goodness, which usually takes 4 to 5 minutes. Gently crush the figs with a wooden spoon during the cooking process, then introduce the prosciutto into the mixture. Combine the fig-prosciutto blend into the risotto during the final 5 minutes of cooking.

Step 3

Once the risotto is ready, remove it from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the grated Pecorino Romano cheese. Allow the flavors to meld for a couple of minutes. To serve, distribute the risotto evenly onto 4 plates and crown each portion with a whole fig as a garnish before presenting.
