Risotto by Jamie Oliver

Risotto of Lemon Thyme, Prosciutto, Pecorino and Goat's Cheese

1 x basic risotto recipe
2 good handfuls of fresh lemon thyme, leaves picked
115g/4oz pecorino cheese, grated
155g/51/2oz goat's cheese, crumbled
8 slices prosciutto

I initially made this risotto pretty much off the cuff with leftover cheese from my fridge and a snip of lemon thyme from my window-box. It was perfect. Use normal thyme if you cannot get hold of lemon thyme.

Method
At the start of Stage 3 of the basic risotto recipe add the lemon thyme. When you stir in your butter and Parmesan at Stage 4, add the pecorino. Lay over the prosciutto slices just before eating and serve with the goat's cheese crumbled over the top. Scatter with a little extra thyme leaves if you like.
