### Ingredients

- 1 1/2 cup of arborio rice
- 150 g brie cheese, cut into small pieces
- 100 g of Parma ham, cut into thin strips
- 1 medium onion, finely bite
- 1 clove of garlic, wrinkled
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- Approximately 5 cups of chicken broth or vegetables, kept heated
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves to decorate
- Oil or olive oil

### Preparation mode

1. ** Initial preparation: **
- Before you start, make sure all ingredients are prepared and within reach.Brie cheese should be at room temperature to facilitate its melting.

2. ** Saute onion and garlic: **
- In a wide and heavy bottom pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter with a wire of oil or olive oil.Add onion and garlic, sautéing over medium heat until they become transparent and aromatic, about 3-4 minutes.

3. ** Cook the rice: **
- Add the burning rice to the pan, stirring constantly so that the beans are well wrapped in the butter and start to become translucent, which takes about 2 minutes.
- Pour the white wine and keep stirring until alcohol evaporates completely and the wine is absorbed by rice.

4. ** Add the broth: **
- Start adding the heated broth, one shell at a time, stirring nonstop and adding more broth as the rice absorbs the liquid.Continue this process until the rice is cooked, but still firm, about 18 minutes.

5. ** Incorporate brie cheese and Parmesan: **
- When the rice is almost cooked, add the pieces of brie cheese and keep stirring until the cheese melts completely and incorporate into the risotto.
- Add the Parmesan cheese, the rest of the butter and season with salt and black pepper to taste.Stir well until everything is homogeneously mixed and creamy.

6. ** Finish with Parma: **
- Remove the pan from the fire and gently wrap the Parma ham strips in the risotto.

7. ** Serve: **
- Serve immediately, decorating with fresh basil leaves on each portion.Ideally, follow with a glass of white wine that complements the flavors of the dish.
