Add the cooked chestnuts, sliced mushrooms and chopped parsley.

Instructions to make Use-up Gammon, Chestnut Mushroom & Mascarpone Risotto:
  1. Heat oil in a large frying or sauté pan and gently fry the onions on a medium-high heat for 4 minutes, stirring only to avoid sticking.
  2. Add the mushrooms, garlic and pepper and fry for a further 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in the rice and cook for a further minute. Then increase the heat to high.
  4. Add the wine, allow a couple of minutes for the alcohol to mostly evaporate and then add the stock, a little (say 100 ml at a time) at a time, constantly stirring, and wait for that to be absorbed before adding more, stirring continuously. It should basically be at the boil/fast simmer and if the liquid is added judiciously it should take around 15 minutes, by which time the rice should be almost cooked. Do add a little more liquid if it looks like going dry - but only add a little at a time.
  5. Add the ham, mustard, mascarpone and Parmesan. Continue cooking, thoroughly and continuously but gently stirring, for just a few more minutes until the rice is properly cooked. Season to taste.
  6. Serve immediately onto warmed plates or bowls and garnish with the parsley.

Stir in the mushroom sauce and season with black pepper. Sub one or two cups of chopped mushrooms for another vegetable in this tasty kitchen-sink fried rice. It's perfect for cooking down what's hanging out in your crisper drawer. Add the mushrooms in step one, when you add all of the other veggies, and then continue on with the recipe as written. They are very much like cremini mushrooms and about the same size.
