I love this recipe. Best of all I don't have to battle with the kids to get them to eat their dinner...they love it too.

Categories     Short Grain Rice

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

olive oil flavored cooking spray
1 onion, chopped
250 g lean rindless bacon, roughly chopped (leave a little fat on)
2 cups arborio rice
3/4 cup lemon juice
4 cups chicken stock (I use tinned Chicken Consomme Soup)
1 cup sliced mushrooms
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a small pot combine lemon juice and stock and bring to a simmer.
  • Keep covered with a lid so it does not evaporate all away.
  • Lightly spray olive oil in another large heavy based pot.
  • Add the onion and bacon and cook over a medium heat until onion is softened.
  • Add arborio rice and cook over medium heat until rice warms for about 5 minutes (don't allow to brown).
  • Add 1 cup of the hot lemon stock to the rice, stirring well with a wooden spoon.
  • Once the stock has absorbed, add the mushrooms and another cup of hot stock.
  • Stir well and wait until the stock has been absorbed before adding another cup of the hot stock.
  • Repeat the above step until all the stock has been absorbed (adjust consistency with more/less water or stock if required).
  • Remove from heat and stir in parmesan cheese.
  • Cover with lid and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

This risotto was a bit too rich for my taste. I think it would have been better with less butter and cream.

This risotto was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my risotto turned out too soupy. I think I needed to cook it for a little longer.
