Ingredients
Scale
1 cup Arborio rice
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
4 slices of bacon, diced
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine (optional, but highly recommended)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Broth – Heat the chicken or vegetable broth in a saucepan over low heat to keep it warm.
Step 2: Caramelize the Onions – In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat, add the sliced onions, and cook until soft and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 3: Cook the Bacon – Add the diced bacon to the skillet and cook until crispy, then remove and set aside, leaving the rendered fat.
Step 4: Toast the Rice – Add Arborio rice to the skillet with the bacon fat and stir continuously for 2-3 minutes.
Step 5: Deglaze with Wine – Pour in the white wine and let it simmer until evaporated.
Step 6: Add Broth Gradually – Add warm broth one ladle at a time, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid, about 20-25 minutes.
Step 7: Finish the Risotto – Stir in caramelized onions, crispy bacon, and grated Parmesan until well blended, and season with salt and pepper.
Step 8: Serve with Flair – Plate the risotto and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
