Bacon and Pea Risotto

By Lexi Klaebe January 31, 2018

Don't believe all the nonsense about having to stir risotto for hours on end - this risotto takes only half an hour and is full of the kids' favourites!

Ingredients

  • Salt reduced chicken stock - 1 litre
  • Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Bacon pieces - 200g
  • Brown onion, diced - 1 large
  • Risotto rice (Aborio) - 275g
  • Frozen peas - 150g
  • Parmesan cheese, grated - 50g
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, bring the stock to a boil. Reduce to a simmer.


2. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Fry the bacon pieces until browned. Remove from the pan.


3. Cook off the onion until softened and transparent.


4. Pour in the rice and stir. Add the bacon back to the mixture, stir to combine.


5. Pour in a ladle spoon of stock to the pan. Stir until the stock has been absorbed. Continue for the rest of the stock until the rice is cooked - this will take about 15 to 20 minutes.


6. Add the peas, stirring through until defrosted.


7. Stir through the Parmesan cheese.

8. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
