Farro Risotto with Prosciutto and Brussels Sprouts

Recipe

5 ratings
Brussels sprouts are packed with glorious nutrients, and each serving of risotto only has about a tablespoon of Parmesan cheese and less than an ounce of prosciutto. Oh, and there’s no butter involved, friends, just heart-healthy extra virgin olive oil.
