Sorry, it does have potential, but that potential involves NO SUGAR SNAP PEAS. I love sugar snap peas, and they simply didn't work. I would sub in broccoli, asparagus, or even regular peas. The sugar snap peas didn't mesh with the other flavors and detracted from the overall flavor. Everything else was fine-good basic risotto recipe.
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.
