A little goes a long way and it's a great dish if you're stuck with leftovers. Use low-fat cheese, you won't lose any flavour but you'll cut down on fat and calories.

Ingredients
- 1 Onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 large Leek, thinly sliced
- 225g Mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 75g Back Bacon
- 1 Lemon, juice and rind (this is easier to remove later)
- 60ml White Wine
- 350g Arborio Rice
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 litre Low-Salt Chicken Stock
- 75g Petit-Pois
- 125g Hard Cheese
Method
Step 1
Bring the stock to the boil in a large saucepan and keep it at barely simmering point.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a large heavy based saucepan, add the onion, bacon, leek and 2 tbsps water and cook for about 2-3 mins or until the mixture begins to soften.
Step 3
Stir in the rice and season well. Add the wine, lemon rind and 2 tbsps lemon juice and two large tbsps of stock. Cook gently, stirring occasionally until the wine and stock is absorbed.
Step 4
Add the mushrooms and gradually add the simmering liquid, a spoonful at a time, let the mixture absorb the stock before adding each spoonful. Keep stirring and adding stock, this will take about 25 mins.
Step 5
When most of the stock has been added and the rice is creamy, add the peas and low-fat grated hard cheese and stir until the cheese begins to melt. Remove the lemon rind and season to taste.
Step 6
Serve the risotto with salad or rocket leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.
