Baked ham-and-kale risotto

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

180 g kale, trimmed
4 T olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1½ cups risotto rice
250 g gypsy ham, chopped
1 cup Parmesan, grated
3 cups chicken stock
4 free-range eggs
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the topping:

½ cup panko crumbs
½ cup Parmesan, grated
1 T butter, for dotting

Method

Preheat the oven to 190ºC. Wash the kale leaves, using as little water as possible, then steam for 15–20 minutes until tender. Drain well and leave to cool, then squeeze out all excess water and chop.

Heat the oil in an ovenproof casserole on the hob. Stir in the onion and cook gently until softened. Stir in the garlic and rice until coated with oil. Stir in the ham, kale and cheese. Pour in the stock and season.

Bury the whole, unpeeled eggs in the risotto and cover tightly. Before serving, bake for 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender but still moist. Uncover, sprinkle with the panko crumbs and Parmesan, dot with butter and grill for 1–2 minutes, or until golden.

Cook's note: Baking takes away the strain of stirring and makes it possible to prep this supper well ahead of time.
