Steps:
- Heat oil and butter, if using, in a large, heavy-based frying pan. Add shallots, season well and cook for 2-3 mins until soft. Add bacon and cook for a further 2-3 mins until golden.
- Stir in chorizo and cook for a few mins, then tip in rice and stir well so it absorbs all the juices. Have hot stock to hand (simmering gently in a pan) and ladle some over rice. Stir and cook until liquid is absorbed, then repeat process until rice is cooked and all stock has been absorbed (this will take about 20 mins). It should have a fairly wet consistency and rice should still retain a bite.
- If you have time, peel the blanched broad beans, so they are really tender and a bright green colour. Stir them into the rice at end of cooking, then warm through and spoon into bowls to serve.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a medium-sized pan, then add the bacon, shallots, garlic and chorizo. Gently cook for 8 mins, stirring occasionally so everything cooks evenly.
- Stir in the rice, coating all over with the cooking juices in the pan. Add just enough stock to cover the rice, bring to a simmer and gently cook until all the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding the stock a ladleful at a time, and gently cook. Just before the final ladleful of stock, add the broad beans and stir through, cooking for 3-4 mins until tender. Remove the chorizo, slice thinly, return to the pan and mix through before serving.

CREAMY RISOTTO WITH BROAD BEANS, CRISPY BACON AND SAGE
This is a real risotto, the kind you have to stir for half an hour, so don't attempt this recipe unless your arms are in good health or you've got some stirrer elves! Frozen broad beans are easy to find in Australia, impossible to find in Canada and I don't know about anywhere else. Obviously it's best if you can get fresh ones, otherwise use frozen ones, otherwise substitute frozen baby lima beans (don't worry about peeling these). As for bacon, I prefer back bacon, it is lean and crisps up very well, but you can use the streakier kind if you like. I have also tried this recipe using half reggiano, half aged cheddar because that's all I had in the fridge, and it tasted just as good as the original. I got this recipe on the web somewhere a couple of years ago but can't remember the details, nor can Google. Note that stirring time is included in prep time because it's anything but passive!

Steps:
- Bring stock and wine to a boil in a medium saucepan. Set it aside, but leave it on the stove under low heat.
- Heat oil in large saucepan. Add green onions and garlic, stir until onion is soft.
- Add rice and stir to coat. Turn heat down to low.
- Add the stock mixture to the big saucepan one cup at a time, stirring until all liquid is absorbed after each cup. This takes about half an hour.
- After all the liquid has been used up the rice should be just tender. You might need to give it an extra five minutes or so over low heat to get there.
- In the meantime, grill the bacon until it is brown and crispy on both sides. Set it aside to drain on absorbent paper towels.
- Remove rice from heat and stir in cream, 1 cup of cheese, beans and sage. Cover and stand for five minutes.
- Serve topped with crispy bacon and the rest of the cheese. A bit of cracked pepper is a nice touch.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the risotto. Use fresh, flavorful vegetables, a good quality stock, and a creamy, flavorful cheese.
- Cook the rice properly: Risotto is a delicate dish, and the rice needs to be cooked slowly and carefully. Don't rush the process, and be sure to stir the rice frequently so that it doesn't stick to the pan.
- Add the liquid gradually: The key to a creamy risotto is to add the liquid gradually, allowing the rice to absorb it before adding more. This will help to prevent the risotto from becoming too soupy or clumpy.
- Don't overcook the risotto: Risotto should be cooked until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked risotto will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Season to taste: Risotto is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to your liking. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
Conclusion:
Risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make a delicious risotto at home. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting dinner recipe, give risotto a try!
