Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½l chicken stock
1 tbsp olive oil
4 streaky smoked bacon rashers, cut into pieces
3 large leeks , chopped
300g risotto rice
125ml white wine
50g grated parmesan
1 bunch chives , chopped

Steps:

  • Keep the stock hot in a saucepan. Heat the oil in another large pan and fry the bacon until crisp. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Stir in the leeks and soften for 5-7 mins. Add the rice and cook for 1 min. Pour in the wine and keep stirring until it is absorbed. Add the stock, one ladle at a time, stirring and waiting for the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more. Continue for about 20 mins until the rice is just cooked and the risotto has a creamy consistency. Season, then stir through the bacon along with most of the Parmesan and chives, saving a little of each to scatter over before serving.
