Pour in the cold stock, stir, cover with a plate leaving a gap for steam and microwave for 5 minutes. Stir well and cook for 3 more minutes.
Add the frozen peas and the diced ham, stir and microwave for 3 minutes, until the rice is tender but still has a little bite and the risotto is creamy.
Add the butter and Parmesan, stir hard for a minute so it turns creamy and let it stand for 1 minute before serving.
