We cook a ham just to have the leftovers to make this dish. Household favorite which I do regularly serve to guests. I don't change a thing about this recipe.

This was wonderful. My husband made it for my birthday & it was hard to keep from eating it all. Aside from the constant stirring a risotto needs, this is a simple recipe with very lovely results that I wouldn't hesitate to make for company. It's also not the usual way to use leftover ham, since everyone gets tired of sandwiches.
