PEA-AND-BACON RISOTTO image

Categories     Pasta

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 ounces lean bacon, diced
2 cups frozen baby peas, thawed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, minced
2 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
7 cups simmering chicken stock
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups small pea shoots

Steps:

  • 1. In a skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat until crisp, 6 minutes. Drain the bacon on paper towels; reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat. 2. In a food processor, puree half of the peas with 1 cup of water. 3. In a large saucepan, heat the oil. Add the onion and cook over moderate heat until softened, 5 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until the rice is evenly coated with the oil. Add the wine and simmer until almost evaporated, 3 minutes. 4. Add enough hot stock to just cover the rice and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the stock has been absorbed. Add more stock to cover the rice. Continue cooking and stirring, adding more stock as it is absorbed, until the rice is al dente and suspended in a creamy sauce, 25 minutes. Add the pea puree, the remaining peas and the bacon and cook, stirring, until hot. Remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the butter, reserved bacon fat, cheese and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with the pea shoots and serve.

I followed the recipe exactly and the risotto turned out way too mushy. I think I might have added too much liquid.

This risotto was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if it had more cheese or maybe some other seasonings.

I'm not a huge fan of risotto, but this recipe was actually really good. The peas and bacon added a lot of flavor and the Arborio rice was cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again.
