Finely chop the onion. Melt the butter with the oil in a large casserole over medium heat, saute the onion, then add the rice, the aromatic herbs, and lemon peel. Slowly add the broth, a little at a time, stirring constantly. The broth should bubble gently as it settles into the risotto. Continue adding the broth a little at a time and stirring, lowering the heat if necessary.
Just five minutes before the risotto is ready, add Prosciutto di Parma®, heavy cream and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Salt to taste. Serve hot.
