Recipe: Bacon RisottoDescription: A creamy and savory risotto dish featuring crispy bacon and Parmesan cheese.Serves: 4 people Total Time: 40Difficulty: Easy to follow Ingredients needed: 8 ounces bacon, 5 cups chicken stock, 4 tablespoons butter, 0.5 whole onion, 4 cloves garlic, 1.5 cups arborio rice, 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, 0.5 teaspoon salt, 0.25 teaspoon black pepperInstructions: Cook and stir bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and reserve. Bring chicken stock to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to low and keep warm. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion turns golden brown at the edges, about 2 minutes. Stir in Arborio rice until coated in butter and rice begins to toast, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; stir in 1/3 of the chicken stock and continue stirring until rice absorbs liquid and turns creamy. Repeat this process twice more, stirring constantly. Stirring in broth should take 15 to 20 minutes in all. When finished, the rice should be tender, yet slightly firm. Remove risotto from heat; stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, Parmesan cheese, and bacon. Season with salt and black pepper before serving.Perfect for: Meal planning, weekly preparation, home cooking Tags: Italian, comfort food, main courseThis Bacon Risotto recipe is designed for easy meal planning and preparation.
