We know what you're thinking, and it probably is something along the lines of “cartoon rat.” Well, that cartoon rat's name meant something! It meant the stirring and stewing of vegetables in a classic French Provençal way: shallot, zucchini, and red bell pepper, all bringing out their natural freshness and perfect flavor atop creamy risotto. Add some prosciutto, and you've got a meal beyond any rat's cooking ability, we don't care what the movies say.

1 Prepare the Ingredients

2 Make the Risotto
Place a medium pot over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add shallot, sun-dried tomatoes, and rice to hot pot and stir occasionally until rice is toasted, 3-4 minutes.
Add 1 cup hot water from small pot and demi-glace to rice. Rice should just be covered by water. Stir often until nearly all water is absorbed.Add 1/2 cup hot water from small pot and stir often again until nearly all water is absorbed. Repeat this process, stirring often, 18-20 minutes.Taste risotto as you cook, checking for tenderness. When rice has no more “bite” or crunch, it's done. There may be water left.Remove from burner.While risotto cooks, crisp prosciutto. -
3 Crisp the Prosciutto
Remove prosciutto from refrigerator. Line a plate with a paper towel.
Place a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1/2 tsp. olive oil. Working in batches, add prosciutto to hot pan in a single layer. Cook until crispy, 1-2 minutes per side.Transfer prosciutto to towel-lined plate. When cool enough to handle, break into bite-sized pieces.Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean. -
4 Cook the Vegetables
Return pan used to crisp prosciutto to medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add red bell pepper and zucchini to hot pan and cook undisturbed until beginning to brown, 3-4 minutes.
Add 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Stir occasionally until browned and tender, 5-8 minutes. -
