Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 slices bacon
1 small onion, chopped
2 medium turnips, peeled & diced into 1/4-inch pieces (about 1/2 pound total)
1 bunch turnip greens, cut into 1/4-inch wide slices & stems chopped (optional)
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
3/4 cup arborio rice
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

  • In a 3-quart heavy saucepan cook bacon over moderate heat until crisp and golden. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Set aside. Reserve 1 tablespoon fat in pan.
  • In a small saucepan bring broth to a simmer and keep at a bare simmer.
  • Heat reserved bacon fat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté onion, stirring, until just beginning to soften. Stir in turnips (and greens if using) and rice and sauté, stirring constantly, 1 minute.
  • Stir in 1 cup simmering broth and cook, stirring constantly and keeping at a strong simmer, until absorbed. Continue simmering and adding broth, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and letting each addition be absorbed before adding next, until rice is tender and creamy-looking but still al dente, about 18 minutes total.
  • Stir in cheese and crumbled bacon.
  • Garnish with bacon crumbles and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

This risotto was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add more salt and pepper next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I wasn't a big fan of this risotto. The turnips were too sweet for my taste and the bacon was a bit too salty. I wouldn't make this again.

This risotto was okay. The flavors were good, but the texture was a bit too al dente for my taste. I would probably make it again, but I would cook the rice for a few minutes longer next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my risotto turned out mushy. I think I added too much liquid. I'll try again next time.

This risotto was a delightful surprise! The turnips added a subtle sweetness that complemented the smokiness of the bacon. The texture was creamy and rich, and the flavors were well-balanced. I'll definitely be making this again.
