Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp mint
  • 1 tbsp blended olive oil
  • 50g grana pandano
  • 25g unsalted butter
  • 900ml chicken stock
  • 400g carnaroli risotto rice
  • 150ml martini extra dry
  • 4 rashers english smoked streaky rashers
  • 6 salad onions
  • 210g shelled garden peas

Method

Step 1

Place the stock in a saucepan and bring to the boil and then reduce the heat to a very gentle simmer. Heat the oil in a large saucepan and cook the bacon and spring onions until softened and golden in places. Stir in the rice and half the butter and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Step 2

Add the vermouth and stir gently until absorbed. Now add a ladle of the hot stock and stir gently until absorbed. Continue adding the stock in this way until the rice is tender and the mixture looks thick and creamy.

Step 3

Stir through the peas, remaining butter, mint and half the parmesan. Cook gently for a further 2 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and sprinkled with the remaining parmesan to taste.
